Here is the newest addition to my "Hilly Series" of paintings.
Hilly Hold-up
11"x14" Acrylic on Canvas
THE STORY
Woof, Woof, WOOF yipped, yapped, and
yelped the dogs.
The mailman has learned his lesson, to
never pass the morning fire hydrant crowd without his trusty red ball. The
fresh painted hydrant occupied by the husky has also created a perfect distraction
for the basset hound still focussed on holding. History tells us that since the
beginning of mail delivery, this has been a tricky and complex relationship
between mailman and dog. One with tricking, barking and of course a little scolding.
Though surrounded by the pug and dachshund, he has secured his bag of mail for
all the hill top neighbours to soon receive their...err...uh...cough...uh...oh
yeah, important...yes, um, important bills.
He's determined to fulfill his mailman
duties, no matter what obstacles he may face.
He first has to get through this hound
hold-up, so he can keep up his pace.
The postman knows, as much as their
bladders make them hold in line and stay,
excited dogs will dash after a red ball
at first sight of play.
Ready to do his wind up and followed up
with a huge throw,
he's
prepared to yell to clear the path, "Fetch, catch, run, go, Go, GO!”
