About this artwork
There was an Old Man in a boat,
Who said, 'I'm afloat, I'm afloat!'
When they said, 'No! you ain't!'
He was ready to faint,
That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
It's hard not to smile when you read a classic Lear Limerick. This artwork is an homage to the great Edward Lear - artist, illustrator, musician, author and poet, best known for his nonsensical prose and especially his limericks. This whimsical yet modern and minimal work is painted on canvas… in oils and cold wax and is a visual ode to finding joy and laughter in life. Finished with matte cold wax, Limerick fits perfectly in a modern home.
