Description
Nearly Home – Dotty Earl
From Dotty Earl's Tall Stories series — where the figures are always gloriously oversized. The sky is on fire — a deep, burning orange that turns the snow pink and the bare, curly-branched trees to silhouettes. A figure in a dark coat walks steadily across the hill, hands in pockets. His little white dog is not walking steadily at all — he's tracking excited circles in the snow, because he knows. The cottage is just there on the horizon. They're nearly home.
A robin watches from a post. Sheep graze on the far hill. It's cold, it's quiet, and it's one of those nostalgic winter evenings that feels like it belongs on a Christmas card — except warmer and funnier.
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.
