Only 8 days to go

Soon be upon us Dennis, all the town centres are like this at the moment, with everyone grabbing those late seasonal gifts. At least you can escape a bit on your boat.

I leave then to enjoy themselves used to love it but not now

Love the contrast between the solid figures and the more abstract buildings in the background - they look as if they're reaching right into the sky.

Many thanks Sandra I always find figures a challenge

This is great Dennis, really depicts the festive shoppers, well painted.

Superb Dennis. What problem would that be with figures?

From what I have seen your figures are fine Dennis and they work extremely well in this.

Well not just figures but everything my brain is soggy so have to struggle cheers Linda Marjorie and Barry but I let them go where they want

Great figures Dennis just enough information. Lovely harmonised palette.

Many thanks Carole

Good work Dennis. Has atmosphere

Many thanks Jim

Having just returned from a nightmare scene like this, I must say you've captured it perfectly. A wonderful painting Dennis.

I try to avoid that shopping day. I like the variety of marks which I have probably said before quite a few times and might sound like a broken record but it's true.

Don't remind me Dennis. Beautiful colour harmony in this piece.

A lovely busy shopping scene Dennis, almost upon us

I,ve not looked at the gallery for a few months but delighted to see you are still producing great art

I thought the figures were excellent...you've captured them without any detail. The various poses are natural, and they all have weight and purpose...(I'm not putting this very well)...your figures are spot on.

The figures are really good.

Many thanks Andre just recovering I do with yours Ibolya John David Peter said it well Lewis and Richard

Good work Dennis, I do most of my shopping on line now, can't stand all the rushing around!

You do right Margaret

Arrrrrrhhhhhhh!!!!!

Only kidding! I refuse to do all that now Dennis but this is exactly the kind of scene at this time of year. Good for you for giving it a miss too.

Yes it's hard to know if you loved it or hated it cheers Fiona

Love your painting, hated Christmas shopping!

I know Fiona sometimes things don't sound right typed and my last one is a prime example I should have been posh and said we not you if you know what I mean

Simply put I was talking about Christmas Shopping I'm not great with words

Lol.....who needs words Dennis when you speak so eloquently with paint. Explains much more than a sentence or two...X

Very true Fiona the best way to communicate

A Christmas market, and the panic well captured

Cheers mate

Another beauty. I love these street scene/glimpses.

Many thanks Gudrun
