Sunday Postcard - Nursery Rhymes



I may have my nursery rhyme wires crossed here. This rhyme is purportedly about Queen Elizabeth the first who, as we know, was prone to over-dressing. I think the Googled picture of lady upon a white horse is Lady Godiva. I added a filmy blue wrap for modesty!

Background is by Lorie Davison and scroll by Irene Alexeeva.

  16. Ah that makes sense, so it was Queen Elizabeth I who was the lady in the rhyme. I would say using an image of Lady Godiva is acceptable for the purposes of your art. However, hold on to your head my friend, Her Majesty might not have been so keen!

    Brilliant art as always Marie.
