A most excellent painting and wonderful photo, Jocko! It looks like a lot of fun being had by all, perhaps except the children. A most remarkably superb painting!

Les fais dodo ou fais-dodos désignent, en français cadien de Louisiane, des bals cadiens ou tout simplement des soirées dansantes. L'expression vient de l'habitude qu'avaient les mères cadiennes d'emmener leurs jeunes enfants aux bals et de leur dire de s'endormir au son de la musique cadienne. Elles mettaient les enfants dans une pièce annexe et chantaient « Fais dodo Colas mon p'tit frère .... », puis allaient danser. Fais dodo, Colas, mon p'tit frère, fais dodo, t'auras du lolo. Fais dodo, Colas, mon p'tit frère, fais dodo, t'auras du lolo. Maman est en haut, qui fait des gâteaux; Papa est en bas, fait du chocolat. Fais dodo, Colas, mon p'tit frère, fais dodo, t'auras du lolo. The do or do dodo dodo-designate, in Cajun French Louisiana Cajun dances or just dancing. The term comes from the habit that Cajun mothers take their young children to the balls and tell them to fall asleep to the sound of Cajun music. They put the children in an adjoining room and sang "Fais dodo Colas my little brother ...." and then went dancing. Fais dodo, Colas my little brother, do sleep, you'll have the lolo. Fais dodo, Colas my little brother, do sleep, you'll have the lolo. Mom is upstairs, which makes cakes; Daddy is downstairs, made of chocolate. Fais dodo, Colas my little brother, do sleep, you'll have the lolo. during the war in France, this contine was sung to me by my mother when I wanted to do a big hug!!! excellent création .

Masterful Jock. I saw your photo of this scene first. Safe to assume you painted the people on the porch first then the fence? Such fine work and an interesting story behind the Fais Dodo.

I echo all that has been said preceding this comment, Jock. Great detail in this painting, and I didn't know that everyone wore white pants at the event. Cool.
