No doubt it would look good over your mantlepiece alongside the ducks.
My table mats, by the way, are Linum (thats a brand)...fourteen quid each from Selfridges a few years ago. As for the Asylum, I do believe that one of the standard treatments for the demented is to get the inmates to do sketches, followed by paintings, just as in the manner you describe. So where were you? Broadmoor..Rampton....? Pray tell.

Not that I think art appreciation can be taught, but after leaving QEGS, I spent five years exclusively studying art. First at Blackburn, then in Liverpool, where I got an honours degree.
Although my exquisite taste was already well formed before entering primary school.
Selfridges?
Isn't that the American department store, where the aspiring middle classes go to, to purchase (naff) fish knives, to match their plain white place mats?
All a bit too suburban for my tastes.
I hear there's still places left on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square.
We should put your name forward.
The Freaky Philistine Juggler and his Linum mats.
