my youngest sister, Vivian, the real artist in the family, painted this for my birthday. she's not painted in a long time but she saw a tutorial on youtube that she liked. this is the tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wX7CL49pms so she tested the waters, so to speak, and did her own 'twist' but frankly, not being biased, but hers came out really well compared to the original. she explained how to do the 'bokeh' part but i couldn't remember now how it was. i think i will make my own version, although how do i top almost perfection? just look at the string around the bulb, how she managed that much detail is beyond me!
Lovely. Wishing you a happy birthday!
