I love the dress ! I like that you call it a shift, it has been a while Since I have heard that term to describe a dress! I love that it's white and has just one large flower. This is a great scene, she is taking this big dog out for a walk, Nice work to show the dog licking it's chops and I like his big brown eyes .I like the way you placed the city behind her, nice to see you added the flowers and the tree! Well created, wonderful colors, well arranged and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

thank you. Pat I think those two bits of fabric were supposed to be curtains, but I more than once made a skirt from curtain fabrics!

Very unique painting done in your inimitable style! Cheerful depiction of the lady and her surroundings. Interesting story to back it. Wonder how the committee will view suitability for the dog contest! Good luck!

thank you- we have all sorts of beasts wandering round our streets, so I thought he would be a good reference to that.
