Description
Big Night In – Dotty Earl
From Dotty Earl's Tall Stories series — where the figures are always gloriously oversized. The telly's on. The china's on the plate rail. The flying ducks are mid-flight up the yellow bird-pattern wallpaper — do you remember those? Did your granny have some? A tall figure in a long pink dressing gown stands knitting, a gloriously long multicoloured scarf trailing from her needles. On the sofa behind her, her dog is helping with the yarn. He is on his back, legs in the air, completely tangled, and appears to have no complaints whatsoever.
A warmly nostalgic sitting room scene, packed with the kind of detail that rewards a second look — the toy horse and cart, the telephone on its stand, the old box TV with its rabbit-ear aerial. Pure Dotty.
Dotty works in mixed media — watercolour with pastel and coloured pencil, with a smidge of charcoal and ink pen thrown in — giving her work a soft, whimsical quality that is entirely her own. She calls it The Twirly World of Dotty Earl.
This print is presented in an acid-free mount, ready to frame.

About Dotty Earl
Dotty was born and grew up on the Wirral, and was drawn to art from a young age — going on to study at Wirral Metropolitan College before earning a degree in Film and Animation at the University of Humberside. She spent many years as a digital artist and animator in the computer games industry, illustrating novels and designing artwork for clothing lines along the way.
Dotty now lives in a small Yorkshire village, where her love of painting bright, colourful characters — created to make people smile — continues to grow.
