May Day, Pedra Branca: children, dogs, kites, oil on card, 12 x 16 cm - available
It seems to me that these little towns with their dirt tracks an dogs are as pleasant a place for a child to grow up as any. Certainly life seems inordinately more interesting in them than in Britain's sterile suburbs.
The children love to fly kites: the telegraph wires are festooned with ribbons from their tails.
