My mams 60th birthday surprise

Well lads, My mam turned 60 last month, So i decided to get her something rather special, but couldn't think what. Anyway i was working with one of the lads, and we got chatting about the weekend, He said that he will be at his sons stall, That he has just setup for his own business doing pet portraits. He should me some of his sons work, and i knew what to get her. So after a few emails backwards and forwards with his son. On getting the best detailed picture, and keeping me up to date on the progress.
To night after a few weeks, i gave my mam this

She had tears in her eyes, she had nagged before " i am just getting a gift card and that's it?"
So it was a nice little surprise for her, even though it was a little late, the lad had to draw it, and then go to the printers to have it done.

What a thoughtful gift. I’m envious of anyone that can paint well, I don’t have an artistic bone in me. My Father in Law paints and did a watercolour of our dog when he was a puppy. He’s tried to make a business out of it, but generally people won’t pay enough to justify his time.
