I sold two paintings yesterday evening.  It feels nice to be rewarded and to feel appreciated... but I do find it exhausting dealing with the people who want to buy my work.  I'm far more comfortable being behind the scenes.
I find it a little difficult to talk about my paintings for any length of time as they are personal and I guess I'm kind of private.... I know that's a contradiction, but I'm sure some of you know exactly what I mean.

Christmas is also happening in my corner.  Our home is decorated and filled with the excitement of a little boy waiting for Santa to arrive.  I'm disorganised this year, more so than any other and I don't exactly know why.  It will happen, but I fear it's going to be a bit of mad rush to the end.

Catch you soon
Merry Christmas

come dance with me...

this will make your hips swing...

Happy again...

Thank you for all your kind words on my previous post. 

It's true I felt a little heart broken with the loss of my much loved hound Harry. 

He had many attributes, he was truly remarkable and losing him left a big gap in our lives.

I decided we had to have another dog as life without one just didn't feel quite right for us.

I searched rescue haven's and everywhere I thought I might find a dog in need of a new home.

It was proving more difficult than I thought to find a suitable dog to have in the company of my young son.

I was almost going to give up and then I found this gorgeous boy.

introducing Sidney,  the new member of my family...

He is a very sweet, gentle, playful and clever dog who is now living happily ever after with us.
