Bent over backwards

The view of the pole is great from down here.

I had a surprise at Greta's tonight. Norman, her brother asked to see my cat painting. He was impressed..........for some reason and has asked me to accept a commission. I have no idea how much an oil painting of 3 by 4 foot, will take to paint, or how much paint it would need, or what if he doesn't like it, or......

Argh!
