Other Media – Sketches
There were many sketchbooks that Evangeline kept with her at home and on her travels and they often contained more than just ‘sketches.’ Some of the artwork was very complete in itself but if it came out of a sketchbook it was hardly ever signed so there is a large body of work that was not only unsigned but was without any context so that it is hard to ascertain when or why she did it. She seldom wrote a description or title for this work so we can only guess at what its provenance might be. Much of the work is charming in itself so we have included a few of the sketches in this section that we thought were the most successful.
Portrait sketch of Richard Leach as a boy, 1960s, pen and ink on paper, unsigned
Happy Horse, circa 1960, watercolour and inks, unsigned
Trees on Islands, watercolour sketch, unsigned
