Isnt he just Oliveoil!

Oh you lucky girl... that's so lovely Sticki.:o)

Sticki ... isn't that an absolutely beautiful painting ... inspired by your photo? ... what a lucky lady you are ... :o)))

I think i am really lucky, Franny, and yes Shirley its taken from my photo!

Its a beauty isnt it?

How nice..Wonder where he got the inspiration from..;0))

That is wonderful Sticki isn't he clever! And such a lovely thing to do:)

He told me pimpernel !!! so I dont have to guess!!!

Absolutely Nana.

that is stunning Sticki, he's a great painter...

Isnt he just SL, and do you know i have just realised, the stones where the snowdrops are growing are an exact match of the stones we have in the garden wall!!!

Brian's generosity knows no bounds, I can vouch for that and so too his talents.
It is a lovely picture and what a great surprise for you :0))

Thank you Val, you have put it better than I could, extremely generous I agree and very clever.

How lovely Sticki . . . what a thrill for you, and what a talent Brian has. You will treasure that painting, I know!

Ah, thanks Sticks !

What a lovely surprise, Sticki. Really beautiful painting, so glad you shared it with us :)

How lovely , just what the Doctor ordered !

What a lovely gift..you are a lucky girl sticki :)
Bjs if you are reading this well done!!

Yes you are a lucky girl Sticki, and what a lovely painting :)

Simply wonderful :o)))))
I'm green with envy both for Brian the extremely gifted artist and for you Sticki the extremely lucky recipient!

What lovely present..its beautiful..great work Brian :)))))

You are right Sheila, I shall treasure it!
Thanks Gee, much too good not to share I thought!
It was very lovely, wasn't it homebird, so very thoughtful.
You don't know how right you are Driad!
Very very lucky, Scottish and sue, it was a complete and very lovely surprise!
I know what you mean lily, thank you, I'm trying to share it a bit by putting it on here!
Exactly pixi!

Thank you everyone but most of all thank you Brian!

That is a work of art sticky just needs a nice frame.

Simply stunning....

been and sorted out the frame today kev, its now in pride of place in my hall.
looks lovely!

im hoping brian is reading this, cos i would love him to know how we all appreciate him and his amazing and lovely pictures.

Beautifully painted especially like the raindrops on the flowers.

it is lovely isnt it linda, the raindrops are beautiful, i admire it every time i look at it.

Lovely painting you lucky Sticki...you'll have to bake him a cake as a thank you..you are both artists in your own way. I can also vouch for Bjs generosity, he sent me some 'pinkish' crocosmia which I had commented on and couldn't find for sale:-)

Now that's a very good idea, Thanks BA, only thing is I can't make a cake that's as good as Brian's painting.

Now you're being modest Sticki, master baker...but it certainly won't last as long:-)))

Well it can always feed the birds!

Sacrilege!:-)

;-)

I have only just seen this ,Sticki..how did I miss it ?
just wonderful..and something to treasure :o)

absolutely bloomer, its in my hall so i see it everyday and appreciate not only the picture but the thought!

Extremely generous and kind. Lucky you Sticki! :) Beautiful painting Brian. :)
