From Dotty Earl's Tall Stories series — where the figures are always gloriously oversized. An elderly northern gent in a flat cap and long grey coat stands on a grassy hilltop, back to the world, looking out over the mills, the rooftops and the chimney smoke of the town that made him. His faithful white dog sits beside him, looking up. A gas lamp stands sentinel to their right, wildflowers push through the grass at their feet, and a heavy, bruised sky rolls in overhead. The chimneys are still smoking. The streets are still there. It's not a pretty view. But it's his, and always will be.
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.
