It's turned out very nicely, and should wet your appetite for more. All the best ones are created from having fun and being relaxed about it, in my experience.

Don't take this as a serious study! It's an 8" by 10", with added text, as a birthday card for my incredible, 86 year old landlady - whom you'd think a good 25 years younger than she is. I'm showing it because it might give someone an idea: I wanted to get back into oil painting after a lull, and thought that doing something playful and not very serious would be a good way of breaking through the ice again. I suppose it's trying to be a dormouse, but if it is, shall we say I've done better? Still - a bit of fun. And it did get my oil-paints out of the box again.
