Wonderful black and white illustration and little rhyme. I love the mad expression on the ladies face!

I love his work. His oils are really different to his witty pen and ink drawings.

I would like to see his other work.
If you have some of his oils please post them. I am going to listen to your harp music now!:)

Hi Joanne,
there are some of his oils on my other blog, eg.

you can use the search to find the others. Very different to this.

another fave, i love his quirkiness. As kids we used to often make up crazy limmericks, great fun. ( in fact we still do!, never grown up!)

This really made me smile and I loved her hair!
