    It was my birthday on the 25th of last month and my daughter painted me this...

    I'm so happy! Not only did she paint it, you can see which exact lantern it is. Dammit, she's done a damned excellent job IMHO, although I might be a little bit biased!

    You lucky man, that is beautiful. Your daughter is very talented!

    Does she take commissions?

    Absolutely charming - the obvious affection, choice of subject and expertise as a watercolourist.

    Pop her an email with one or more photos of a lantern and have a chat.

    Look excellent mate. I would be proud as well, if my daughter could paint like that.

    That's great artwork. The perspective, nuances, colouring, consideration of light reflections, all of it..
    How many of us here could actually match that level skill??:)

    Thanks guy, I'm extremely proud of her!

    She's still learning her craft and would like to do more lantern paintings so if anyone wants their own lantern watercolor she's happy to take commissions.
