Two Little Pictures & a Pig Mug

Two little pictures and a Pig Mug made me happy today. They caught my eye at the newly opened resale shop down the street. Barry and I stepped into this new shop while on our daily walk. I knew immediately when I saw them that I would be back to buy them. By the time we got home we were tired. Barry lay down for a nap and I jumped in the car and headed back to the shop. I went straight to where they were, picked them up, and headed for the cash register. The fat smoker lady commented on my fast shopping. I guess she didn't remember me. I brought them home and washed them in some fresh hot soapy water. I am now drinking some hot green tea from my pig mug (each pig is posing differently with some balloons). Earliar with B's help, I hung the two little pictures in the bathroom above the commode. This is a unique place for a picture I thought since a large window takes up most of the room above the commode. Including the frame, the pictures are about 9 X 7. The frames are a dark red. A white border surrounds a multitude of pastel red, yellow, white, blue, and green depicting a man pushing a white (Target) dog with a black spot on his right shoulder in a wheelbarrow as another of the same type of dog is following him, but his black spot is on his right hip. The man is white with black clothes on. The other picture is of a woman, also dressed in black, leaning on a white shovel next to a huge white dove, as tall as she is, with pencil thin legs. On the other side of her is a birdhouse, complete with a gray bird pirched on its ledge, atop a tall skinny white board. There are tall skinny flowers sporadically placed around. I wonder if these are well-known pictures or just some unknown artist. I can't read the artist's name, but I like his or her work. :)
