Caricature of English garden tour
I discovered Sue McCartney Snape while toodling about online looking for artwork. Her pictures are hilarious.
“Sue Macartney-Snape is the award winning artist and illustrator of the ‘Social Stereotypes’ column in the Saturday Telegraph. This summer, she depicts the eccentric English and their much-loved gardens in four comical illustrations.
There is a long standing relationship between the British and their gardens. Fussed over, pruned and polished squares of landscaping are dedicated to relaxation and the quest to best one’s neighbour. Macartney-Snape’s astute observations of this very British tradition are to be found in four of her best illustrations…
Sue Macartney-Snape has been the Saturday Telegraph Magazine’s illustrator for over 15 years, and has a reputation as the finest in her field. With her prints selling worldwide, she is a household name, and has been widely acclaimed as ‘the Wodehouse of art’ and ‘a master of caricature.’ (John Julius Norwich)”
