Obviously you say that because you're going to render your own version of  
the same scene only better =)

The company I work for closes around the December holidays, So I usually  
do my paintings then. Paintings always seem to take forever to finish....

Just to be absolutely sure: it is a real, oil painting or one done in the
computer?

Neither. It's a real painting done in acrylics. :)

I had the image in my head, but I had no reference material to paint from.  
So I constructed the scene in Pov-Ray, rendered it(June 2010) and then  
painted with acrylics onto a canvas stretched over a wooden frame  
(December 2010 - Jan 2011). This was my second painting done from a  
rendering.

The first painting I did from a rendering was the funky musicians  
(attached). The rendering is here:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3C4719b21e%40news.povray.org%3E/?mtop=16

I've only done oils once.. and that was on an ostrich egg. I was  
commissioned to paint something red on an ostrich egg because the person  
it would be given to was partially sighted and could only see in red. So I  
painted the whole egg to look like  arose bud :)
I don't like oils because it takes ages to dry and the paint felt  very  
gooey and sticky. Acrylics dry quickly so you can get along with the  
painting a lot quicker.
