A few years ago a former colleague commissioned me to do a set of card suits for her husbands poker room. She found some ideas she liked and I combined them into what you see here. They were fun and easy to do, and certainly made her happy - though I never got the final verdict from her hubby.
The image of the tree is a painting that I did for lord knows what reason, anyway, I ended up giving it to my best friend for her birthday.
And the roman wine carafe was an image I had drawn years and years ago for a friend's father who was REALLY into wine. I never finished the piece until recently. I gave it to a friend as a "congrats" present for his success in his sommelier course. He chose to place it in the window of his office which was right on the corner of Elgin and Wellington. Everytime I passed by on the bus I would look up to see if it was still sitting there - it was kind of encouraging to see that little painting be appreciated. He moved offices last year and I have no idea if the little painting went with him or if it's still on display...I like to think so...
