Description
Is Anyone Looking? – Dotty Earl
From Dotty Earl's Tall Stories series — where the figures are always gloriously oversized. A nostalgic urban park in full swing — roundabouts spinning, children everywhere, the kind of Saturday afternoon that feels like it belongs to another, slightly better era. Mum is supposed to be watching. But the swings are right there, empty, and nobody's paying attention. She glances around. Is anyone looking? Her dog is. He thinks it's a brilliant idea.
Dotty has filled this panoramic scene with the cheerful chaos of a busy park — figures large and small, all caught in their own little moment, the whole thing humming with warmth and wit.
This print is part of a panoramic trio — see also Happy Days and Wishful Thinking.
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.
