naïve art
the happy Lowry of Hampshire
bright colours, thick oils, alla prima
bright colours, thick oils, alla prima
An artist called Ted
There was an artist called Ted
who had colourful pictures
in his head...
“I live to paint,”
he often said
so prolific,
he couldn’t go to bed
but created oils
on canvas instead...
"They could be worth lots,
when I'm dead..."
he mused to his wife
the poor woman, who married Ted...
"As long as it keeps you occupied,
I'm happy," she said.
