"The Gifts" is custom made for a lovely Greek baby boy's Baptism celebration and also for his first birthday. The painting was used as a greeting poster at the ceremony first, then it has been put in the baby's room, as one more "gift" for the day and a souvenir of growing up.
The theme of this painting was set to be a lion cub with his friends in the woods, celebrating the little king's coronation. Friends bring different gifts and every gift is a best thing in the world.

《禮物》是為一個可愛的希臘男寶寶的洗禮及一周歲生日特別訂製。首先用作典禮的迎賓海報，而後掛在寶寶的房間裏，作為這一天的“禮物”和成長的留念。
因為寶寶是獅子座，畫面主題設定為一隻小獅仔，和森林裏的小夥伴們一起，慶賀他的“加冕”。小夥伴們帶來不同的禮物，每一件都是世上最好的寶物。

▼ Koala brings a pillow, definitely his favorite thing ! Monkey picks a real shining star from the tree. Cloud is a gift from the sky !
▼ 樹熊帶來一個枕頭，無疑這是他自己最喜愛的東西 ！猴子摘來樹上的星星。雲朵是天空送來的禮物！
▼ Auntie Giraffe and sis Deer bring balloons. For this event, Auntie Giraffe went to a salon (the same one that @tydebbie Debbie's bear went to @tydebbie/fames ) to make the heart spots; and sis Deer did a facial to remove freckles.
▼ 長頸鹿阿姨和小鹿姐姐帶來了氣球。為了這次盛會，長頸鹿阿姨特地到 @tydebbie 小迪的熊仔去的那間salon（ @tydebbie/fames ）做了心形斑紋；小鹿姐姐也做了面膜，盡量淡化臉上的雀斑。
▼ He is a happy soul.
▼ 背景音樂 ♪ “你快樂嗎~ 我很快樂~...... 快樂就是這麼容易的東西(只要沒有伊能靜)~ Don't worry~ Be happy~”
▼ Bear brings honey. So sweet of him! But Look at the bee sting...
▼ 熊仔帶來一罐蜜糖。為了這件禮物，他被蜜蜂蟄了一下。
▼ Fox did prepare some grapes as a gift but he ate them on the way here... It's fine!
▼ 狐狸的確準備了葡萄作為禮物，可是他在來的路上忍不住自己吃掉了...... 沒關係！
▼ And...Birds send their favorite thing as a gift...
▼ 另外......雀仔也送來了禮物，當然，是他們最喜歡的......
▼ Panda's gift, a paper plane !
Usually, Bunny wears contact lenses when she goes out, but this morning she slept over so she put her glasses on and left home in a hurry (how did I know that? I just know it! ) ; The four-eyes prepared a carrot as a gift but she ate it on the way here for her breakfast.
There is a tomato lantern !
▼熊貓仔的禮物，一架紙飛機！
通常，兔小姐出門是要戴隱形眼鏡的，但是這天早上她睡過頭了，只好急匆匆戴上框架眼鏡就出發了，路上，四眼還把作為禮物的胡蘿蔔當早餐吃掉了（別問我怎麼知道的，反正我知道）。
番茄燈籠仔！

Here are some progress pics.
▼ The first sketch on paper; The initial idea was just the "coronation", without "gifts".
Ideas don't come all at once when you try to find them. Some times they visit you like unexpected guests.
▼ 最早的紙上草圖；起初的構想是“加冕”而沒有“禮物”。
創意不是想有就有，也不是一下子到齊的。他們往往像意外來訪的客人一樣，突然敲門。
