Party Day - Dog Island


Acrylic - size 16 " x 12"
Those who have seen my previous paintings of my imaginary island - Dog Island - will know that this is a magical place where dogs are not just tolerated but are very welcome, indeed people wishing to come to the island will need to be accompanied by a dog unless special arrangements are made!
Here three Dalmatians are the first to arrive - no doubt making sure they don't miss the picnic!
Come and join in the fun!

Dog Island

Dog Island
Watercolour - size 18½ " x 11½ "
Please bear in mind that once this painting is matted/mounted it will measure considerably more - in the region of 25½" x 18½" with the frame then being added to these dimensions.
____________________
Following the posting of my painting 'Warm Waters', it has now been arranged that several friends are going to join me on the island to share a bottle (bottles!) of wine while we watch our dogs play. As this island exists only in my imagination, the waters are shark-free, warm and safe; the climate is perfect with a warm sun and gentle breezes. The island has no traffic and so dogs are welcome and can run free to their hearts' content. This is a view of another beach on Dog Island. Come and join us!

This is another painting brought about by an art blog theme. This week's is 'water' and while 'a glass of' water' came to mind immediately, this image was soon overtaken by wonderful memories of a holiday in Florida mixed with the words 'water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink' which I have discovered is a misquote from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge - it should read 'Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink'. While this is not one of my favourite poems, Florida is definitely one of my favourite places - long days of sunshine and lazing on the beach (oh well, yes, theme parks too!)

A watercolour painting of a beautiful beach lapped by a warm sea - crystal clear and inviting.

I look at this painting and am immediately transported back to a wonderful holiday where the days were filled with laughter and sunshine. I hope you will be able to join me at the beach when you look at the painting and feel the sand between your toes........
