Strictly

That time of year again Louise, where everything stops in our household for 'strictlry'. A wonderful rendition of the tango, the fiery red dress, and figures oozing movement... Excellent.

Great work but hate the prog. I can appreciate the skill of the pros, the enthusiasm and committment of the slebs but not the non stop screeching, blah and hype.

Thank you Andre. I'm not keen on it either Derek. So much screaming from the audience every time the dancers do so much as a twirl!

I think this is a "Ten from Len "....looks like Anton and Lesley Joseph from last night.

Thanks Kirstie..now do I say of course it's them or the truth, any resemblance is just coincidental :)

Wonderful colours and composition, Louise - very striking...

In full swing they are! Great drawing Louise. Must say that I could do with less Strictly, it's too often and too long but there we are...

Lovely dynamic painting.

Thank you Jan, Satu and Shirley!

Fun painting Louise. But Im going into hiding with Michael.

Just now turned off Sylvia. What a racket, far too much screeching from the audience!

Looks as though it's going to be busy in my 'shed' - I hate the fact that it seems more to do with the egos of the panel than about a serious competition for discerning adults (and despite my sense of humour I do have a serious side). As for the painting it is great Louise and captures the movement so well.

Lovely frock and movement Louise, don't go out of my way to watch it, I don't even know who's in it this year!

Great feeling of action in this Louise.

Very well painted Louise. I like the brightness, movement and great lines.

Thanks Fiona, Frank and Michael!

Oh Louise it's glitter time again, you have caught the pose very well!

Thanks Carole. The year's gone quickly hasn't it :)

Room for a littl'un Michael? Now I have to get out of the house while wife watches last night recording.

Well I love your painting Louise and I love the programme, even my painting has to stop while it's on!

Many thanks Margaret. I'd rather be painting but as I'm full of a cold at the moment, neither appeals just now. I'm pretty sure Michael has a small corner for you Derek in that nice studio :)

Hope he has one for me, I am totally bored with it, same old dance routines! Actually I'm a bit bored with Bake Off too ! :(

I have only caught the tail end of the programme....

Me too Carole. Same old.. I haven't actually watched any of it this time Gudrun. I painted these dancers some time ago but thought they were quite topical with all the hoo hah about the current programme :)
