Sort of Sandwich

detail from Sort of Sandwich

Not intended (luckily!) to be a true picture of the quaint little town, this detail refers to one of the many churches, the river and boats. I loved my visits to the town and the many characters I met. The wonderful individuals, news and gossip always reminded me of those famous residents of another of the Cinque Ports: Mapp and Lucia and their doings!

Maybe it’s a pobble

found images outlined - creatures and weird feet
Maybe it’s a pobble

Now, come on! Which of you ate those toes?

Another weird fantasy set of creatures pulled out of random marks.

Don’t cry frog…

…it’s only a bit of fun!

Don't cry frog

Oh dear. Sometimes when I draw these things that appear from nowhere I feel concern for my sanity…

Found images in acrylic media on printing paper. Image 6×6 inches (15×15 cm) approximately.

The lady ventriloquist

She holds her dummy close even while she isn’t speaking. An unlikely subject which appeared out of my collage. Image 10×8 inches (25×20 cm).

Sadly I started this 10×8 inch picture on too many varieties of oriental tissue so it was impossible to flatten it out – hence the wrinkles that persist! Otherwise I was pleased with it!
