I don't know why but it reminded me of a time when my sister (who checks these things occasionally) found one of her pieces had been stolen. The person who was pretending it was their work claimed it had taken them "a couple of hours" to do and me and my sister were snickering as we knew how long it had taken her to do (a bit longer than a couple of hours).
Some things I can finish in a couple of hours but nothing like this. I wasted "a couple hours" on the original background. I can still use that as a 'base' for something though. All is not lost.
