From Dotty Earl's Tall Stories series — where the figures are always gloriously oversized. A winding road curves up through a town of tall, brightly coloured terraced houses — pinks, yellows, blues, oranges, purples — stacked up the hillside with rolling green hills and a big cloudy sky beyond. Everyone is getting on with it. A figure in red walks up the hill with a child. A woman in blue pauses on the pavement. Someone's on a bicycle. A dog trots along on a lead. A figure pushes a pram. A red scooter is parked on the bend. Just another day — and yet Dotty has made it feel like the most warmly nostalgic, cheerful place you could possibly live.
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.

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.
