Friday's launch of The Smith Family Christmas Appeal in Canberra had a very cute moment when five-year-old Rowan Blackmore gave Chief Minister Andrew Barr one of his paintings.
Mr Barr said he liked that the painting had blue, green and red in it - "a bit like the Assembly".
The Smith Family's regional programs manager Olga Srbovski said it was a "deconstructed rainbow" - while little Rowan was a little overwhelmed by the attention.
The painting is set to take pride of place in Mr Barr's office.
