Good morning Dianne @RoseCityCupCake & thank you. Yes, this long-standing tradition has now been running for more than six years (since late May 2014!) so I'm glad to have been of service! Here's one that I hope you'll like: this is "St Martin's, Wareham" by Elwin Hawthorne.#ELG https://t.co/BU1ZCR2c4j
My pleasure, John @JohnAdamsEbble From about the same period or possibly a few years later, here's "The Vale of Pewsey" also by Walter Steggles. #WalterSteggles #Pewsey #Wiltshire #ELG https://t.co/MArnlmdr8C
Thank you, Lynda @Just1Snap Yes, I can see what you mean. Here's one from roughly the same time or maybe a little bit later: this is "Roundway Hill" by Walter Steggles from c.1985 (from memory). #WalterSteggles #RoundwayHill #Wiltshire #ELG https://t.co/U4rzyLFYuC
Good evening Terry @TerrySmyth4 & thank you. Yes,it is a superb painting & one of Walter Steggles' earliest experiments with impasto. In later life he re-worked "Stratford" as "Bow Back Waters" which I believe dates to the late seventies. You'll note some marked differences. #ELG https://t.co/Ho0ATC2FuH
Good morning Katharine @katharine_edw & thank you. Yes, within the Steggles family there was an expression that reflected that: "A Wally sky"! Walter Steggles certainly had a penchant & talent for depicting clouds as you'll see here in "Woodbridge" by him from his post-war work. https://t.co/lZeVJLrxf2
Good morning Pen @penny_thompson & thank you for spreading the word to @DCSTheresaLeavy too. Here's another view of "Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from c.1934 that I hope you both like. It is a view from Cobb Road towards The Cobb. #JohnCooper #LymeRegis #Dorset #ELG https://t.co/XOQKFm9LLt
Good evening Pen
@penny_thompson
& thank you. Here's another one by John Cooper that I haven't shown for a long time. This is "Three Prima Donnas" by him from 1934 & it is in the Model Gallery in the collection @PallantGallery It measures approximately 7ins x 5ins! #ELG https://t.co/kRUvO8W14b
Good morning Matt @MattArtandBooks & thank you. By chance, I haven't seen the film or read the book but I know exactly what you mean! Here's another version of "Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from c.1934/35 which is a view from Cobb Road towards the harbour & Cobb. #JohnCooper #ELG https://t.co/NgfE4Od9Pp
Good evening Joe @JoeGreene1959 & thank you: I hope you'll get there in August! I'm not sure if it is still there but you might look out for "The Bandstand, Broadstairs" when you're there: here depicted by Elwin Hawthorne, presumably also from 1931 although it is undated. #ELG https://t.co/ZTfDXp7ec6
Good morning Amit @powerofmouse & thank you. Yes, it is a lovely painting. From a similar period, here's "The Vale of Pewsey" by Walter Steggles which I think has a distinctly ethereal feel to it. The painting dates from the mid to late eighties. #WalterSteggles #Wiltshire #ELG https://t.co/8O0K2m0dfN
