So Saturday I was painting at the Richmond Oval for the Royal Bank of Canada's Winter Carnival. I got to meet Leo the Lion, the mascot for the Olympic Torch Relay, sponsored by the RBC, and painted up a storm in the speed skating arena. I had a fantastic time and was very well looked after.

At one point a gentleman, a senior member of the banking staff, told me he had a formal event to go to that evening and would I mind painting his head! He wanted the Olympic Rings painted on the top of his bald head, which was a first for me, so I agreed! I felt a bit under pressure as his grandkids, wife and daughter looked on, taking video and photos. But it was fine and turned out really nicely. He was so pleased with his novel art piece that he gave me a tip too, which is always gratefully received! I also had the opportunity to update my rainbow butterfly, whaddya think?

A great day was had by all and I had a fab day too. Thanks to George and Isabel for their trust and enthusiasm in me and my work. You are very much appreciated x
