WET DOGS SHAKING

Even when the weather is fine dogs have a knack of getting soaking wet in puddles, streams and on the beach.Dogs walkers know to beware of the big shake that dogs use to dry themselves off making everyone else within a few feet as wet as they are.

RETAIL THERAPY

Cambridge city is busy with people shopping.
What shoppers are carrying seems suggest a story about them that  I like to capture in paintings .
Flowers may be  for a special anniversary gift.Tiffany's use tiny blue bags--is that an engagement ring or love token in there?
The pretty young woman in the red coat has several bags from designer label stores,a windfall or pay rise to celebrate perhaps.
Ladies cluster together to discuss where the best bargains may be had,it has to be the market,Lidl or Aldi for those.


                                     All these paintings are for sale in my shop on www.ebay.co.uk

SEEING RED


St Valentine's day is on 14th February and the flower shops are displaying red roses .
A gift of red  roses is always a romantic gesture.

There is something about a red dress that is special, so is that most romantic of dances, the tango.My favourite tango music --Por Una Cabeza and Libertango by A.Piazzolla


                                         
Tango (SOLD)
