Lizard for Alex

Painted for an autistic boy who knows everything about lizards. He found this photo somewhere, so I painted it on a birthday card and gave it to him for a gift.

The painting and your gesture are both lovely and beautiful. The texture you have brought in your painting is amazing. Congratulation.

Yes, I know. That is why I gave it away. This young man has it in his room at home. I would not try to sell something like that. Thanks

I am sure that he was delighted with the lizard painting. Nice job! And especially since you gave it away.
Just a word of caution: If you did not take the photo yourself, it would not be wise to paint it and try to sell it as your own idea, design, or otherwise. Artists and photographers have a copyright on their work, even if it is not registered with the Library of Congress. Tis good that you gave it away and for a very good cause.
