Mer and John
I was surfing and quite randomly followed a link to an illustrator called Dorothy Pulis Lathrop, and I fell in love. Her use of lines and stippling; the precision of work; the content predominantly animals and children against fantastical backdrops, are magical. She also draws water in an intriguing stark manner. The pic below is based on her work. It is intended as a homage, I’m just playing and learning.
I simply could not resist drawing Rodney as a mermaid rescuing John who, as if by magic, appeared in the water before him. What actually happened was John got turned about on a patrol, took a misstep in his loosely tied boots, knocked himself silly and fell off the pier. Mer thought it was pretty magical and love a first sight. John took a little bit more convincing.
