Glasgow girl. Photograph by Joan Eardley<br />
This work has <strong>the</strong> humour and empathy <strong>of</strong> her<br />
best child paintings; it has a naturalism which<br />
flows from <strong>the</strong> deep affection and a realism<br />
not born <strong>of</strong> slavish accuracy but ra<strong>the</strong>r coming<br />
from an understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
child; feral, ragged but vitally alive. <strong>The</strong> free<br />
drawing, pentimenti, distortion and non-natural<br />
colour take risks, are intuitive but are a wholly<br />
successful route to <strong>the</strong> realisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> image.<br />
Pink Jumper can be seen in Joan Eardley’s<br />
studio (see page 37) top right.<br />
