It's ok Ron. i knew you were making a joke. i just thought i'd better explain why i added the "sample" over the top of the picture just in case anyone asked

looking good. After 30 years that's the only time that Threepio has an obviously silver leg ;)

Its not that obvious on the painting. i think that reflection has caused it to stand out more than it actually does

Wow. That would suck. Who steals paintings online and sells them? Morons.

It happens a lot. i've set up copywrite on all my work no so i'm pretty much protected. I took the site who stole my pics to court but cuz they were American based our bloody court system didn't want to know. so i stopped painting for quite a few years because of it. this will be the first painting i've done in quite a while and god i'm rusty
