Extracts from a drawn letter. Ink and watercolour. Written/drawn 11 June 2009.
The real letter was handwritten alongside the drawing. The text on these scanned images explains a little about the drawings for public viewing.
When I was little
I thought that
a tiny man
was kept
in our
radio.
I had a white fur bonnet
with pom poms on
that I really hated
but I probably
looked very
pretty.
Most of the week I’ve looked
like this with my hood up
and my energy low.
Not as a nun.
Sometimes
the hood helps
my head not throb.
Mostly, it hides my hair.
My husband might
take me cycling
with a special
wheelchair
bike.
There
will be many
flies in my teeth
if he goes really fast.
these are so wonderful and show the real Rachel’s terrific sense of humor:-)
I love the radio man – glad he has a little room to wiggle about in there… these drawings are great – illustrated letters are a treat!
These are great. I love that first one the best.
First one is too cute and wonderful!
I think your drawings are wonderful; I love these especially. I love the one in the hoodie…
Best wishes
Bob
