Artist's Comments

This is my first painting based on a Mother Goose rhyme. I did it a while ago as the first of a planned series of paintings that would be large enough to fill a book. I only got about three of them done though before I got distracted by other things. I intend to revisit this idea before I drop dead though. I've got the rest of the planned paintings already roughly designed, I just need to get off my ass and paint them!

The original Rhyme reads as follows:

"There was a Crooked man,
And he walked a Crooked mile,
He found a Crooked sixpence
Against a Crooked style;
He bought a Crooked cat
Which caught a Crooked mouse,
And they all lived together
In a little Crooked house."

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
And a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Thanks again! I was really trying to make everything in this painting Crooked - crooked mountains, crooked hills, crooked rocks, even a crooked border. Also, even though it's a bit hard to notice, I gave everyone 1 yellow eye and 1 normal eye. Everybody’s got one: the man, the cat, the house (1 window is yellow), even the mouse has a yellow glow painted where his other eye should be. All just extra stuff to make it seem like they are all abnormal, but still all belong together.

I think it 's the little extras touches that make the illustration,the small detaails always pay off:D

Whoof; those are some tight trousers. I love that flowing crooked landscape, and that fluffy crooked mouse.

So much joy in life, so many pleasures all around.
But the pleasures of insomnia are some I've never found.
With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed.
But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can avoid...
