Default One off RETF Oil Painting for sale - Charity

This is a painting I did fairly recently, it is painted using good quality oil paints and will be framed prior to postage. It is A4 size.

I'm really quite happy with how this one turned out and I have had lots of nice comments from people who have seen it on my drying rack when they've come round (my dad thought it was a photo, but his eyesights not that great!lol), so i've decided to sell it and I will be donating a percentage of the profits to Breast Cancer Research UK.

I hope it'll make a lovely colourful addition to someones house or reptile room, and hopefully raise a bit for a good cause too! Please remember this is a complete one-off (i only paint for my own personal enjoyment so i don't often do more than one of anything unless i get a request for it) and took me quite some time to complete. I will also sign it for you before I post it.

At the moment i'm asking for reasonable offers.

Here's a photo of the painting unframed. It doesn't really do the colours of detail justice though, i think because of the texture of the oils!

Actually I'm impressed and think with the right frame it'd look really great - but I haven't any frogs so would be daft me buying it - bump for you anyway
