Bert! Thankyou so much! I can't tell you how honoured I am that the very first thread I started on Mudcat ended up being your pick of the week! And that so many people responded to it with enthusiasm. Thanks for explaining 'why' you picked it, too!Just as a "slight" aside, my partner's daughter, who created the baby dragon and the legs, feet and half of the claws for the big dragon (and then taught her dad how so he made the claws for the back legs) won an honourable mention certificate and pin last night at an art show for a wonderful watercolour of a cat. Her only idsappaointment was that her art teacher had matted the picture in such a way that she completely covered up the two darling mice that were an integral part of the painting! She probably thought she was doing her a faavour by "improving" the painting. But Lissa was quite disappointed. I wish people wouldn't do things like that to kids.
Anyway, Mal took some pictures that I have now uploaded to my art site. If you love cats as much a Lissa does you'll love this painting.
If you're interested they are here:

This is real "folk art".
