Alex Salmond, Scotland’s First Minister, wishes us a very merry Christmas with his official card, seen here. It’s a painting by Gerard Burns called ‘A New Journey’. I’m afraid it sent me off on a disturbing trip through Google Images. Hyper-realist art, flags, and young girls with blond hair? Some images cannot be redeemed from past associations.

No, Wrinkled Weasel, no 'uncredited lifting' was involved! Probably the same Google Image search you did yourself.
Surely some coincidence?http://wrinkledweasel.blogspot.com/2009/12/alex-salmonds-christmas-card.htmlor did you just lift the idea, uncredited?
Hi Tom. This Christmas card (and your blog) inspired me to resurrect my own blog. Taking a slightly different approach to the image;http://bonnieprincedougie.blogspot.com/
