“They don’t make salads like they used to” by Karen Chappelow 90x100cm

This painting started because of a rhyme sang to kids..

Ride a cock horse to banbury cross

To see a fine lady on a white horse

With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes

She will have music wherever she goes

Toots and the Maytals song Monkey Man has the following verse

I was on my way to Banbury Cross

Then I see a monkey upon a white horse

With rings on her fingers, bells on him toes

Sing a little song, wherever he be

‘Cause he’s a monkey, ’cause he’s a monkey

‘Cause he’s a weedy-weedy-tweedy-weedy monkey man- I prefer this one.

A cock horse refers to a feisty, uncircumcised or hobby horse.

At this point I lost my mind and remembered a moment with my daughter, having lunch where I spied an ingredient in a salad.

It was “mescalin. I said to Rani- isn’t that heroin? that’s awfully cheap for heroin”, we then did a Google and had a laugh. So that’s where it ends up.
