How to Survive a Family Do in the 1970s
Handbags. Buffet politics. Drunk uncles. Questionable dancing. And relatives you were told to kiss even though you had no idea who they were.
If cheese and pineapple on sticks, handbags lined up on the bed and somebody’s uncle dancing with his tie around his head bring back a few memories, I made this for you.
My free 1970s Family Do Survival Guide is a little illustrated trip back to the family gatherings we thought were completely ordinary at the time — and somehow remember so vividly now.
Inside you’ll find buffet etiquette, handbag politics, dance-floor survival, familiar family characters and a few questions that might bring somebody straight back into the room.
Pop your details below and I'll send you a copy.
You’ll also occasionally hear from me with new paintings, Owd Lasses stories, studio news and exhibitions. No incessant waffle and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.
Why the family do?
I paint ordinary people and the little stories that surround them — the characters we knew, the lives that rarely made the history books and the moments that somehow stick.
Sometimes a painting makes you laugh.
Sometimes it reminds you of somebody.
Sometimes it does both.
