Description
Karaoke Night – Dotty Earl
From Dotty Earl's Tall Stories series — where the figures are always gloriously oversized. A wonderfully rotund figure in a white shirt and red braces sits at the upright piano, back to us, completely absorbed. He has leaned so far into the keys that his head has disappeared behind the piano lid. There is a beer bottle on top of the piano. A cocktail glass. He is giving this everything he has.
His small white and brown dog sits beside him on the left, looking up attentively. Whether in appreciation or concern is hard to say.
Green floral wallpaper, red carpet, a standard lamp, framed pictures on the wall, a clock. A proper nostalgic front room recital — and if the title is anything to go by, the neighbours already know about it.
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.
