It was Dad's 80th Birthday today. Happy Birthday Dad!
What do you get someone who doesn't really need or want anything? (At least he said he didn't when I asked him)
I thought how about something unique? Yes, I answered. So Mary and I painted him a picture of her, me and him. Now you can tell I am not a good painter as I did Mary (on the right). She did the rest, more or less. I love her painting - it is full of life and energy. The people really are happy. I also like the red colour that she has used to do my hair.

Concentrate on the painting and not on Spongebob, Mary! |

The finsihed work of art. My Dad, Me and Mary. |
Dad like it lots and lots.

I think that's lovely! Mary's art is lovely, exuberant and just how it should be. It's a shame we (well, some of us!) lose that go-for-it energy as we leave childhood.
It's brilliant! It is such a special gift.
