About MeFollowing exactly the format of the adjacent watercolour, this pen and ink drawing demonstrates that Earley took pleasure in using a variety of different media, perhaps searching for a particular effect.

She described her pleasure in drawing in a letter to a friend, 'I hope you are still happily drawing. it is a most satisfying joyful thing. The contact which you get because you are very still and quiet in one place; the things that move, and carry on their daily happenings because they are unconscious of your existence - little mice and birds, and even the sun and wind too become part of you. '
