Great idea for a present, I think they'll love it!

Thanks Satu and Debs. I have done this for other friends, some commissioned but in that case larger and painterly.

Lovely fresh image Derek, I'm sure they will be delighted with this. It's always a bit awkward when people say no gifts, isn't it.

I echo all those comments Derek, but when I say that I don't want anything I don't always mean it...

I'm sure that they will be thrilled Derek! It's fresh and quirky. I always like it when the telephone poles and wires are added. Lovely!

Thanks Stephen, Alan, Sian, dennis and Sarah. Didn't block in all the coloured areas and ignored some, the rough texture helped a lot.

A unique gift Derek that I'm sure they will cherish.

What a great idea and beautifully executed.

Thanks Christine and Thea, it is a one off unique so they won't get anything like that even if some other guests ignore their request

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
