March 2013. Finished this work after a break of a few months following the loss of my biggest fan, me Mum., Got there in the end. I had a square canvas but felt part way through the painting that it would be better just rectangle shape so painted on the two dark brown borders top & bottom to show off the finished work better, something a little different for me. Hope you like it!!................ 700 X 700 mm ($790)
