Good morning Paul @PapaBradders & thanks for "spreading the word" to Des @desdelboy too. Here's one that I hope you'll both like. This is a sketch & archive photo of the "Clarnico Fire Station" by Walter Steggles. #WalterSteggles #Clarnico #ELG https://t.co/bnAMT72cH7
Good evening Sandra @BorninBattersea & how interesting that you are related to Mary Anning! Lyme Regis was a day-trip destination for us as a family when I was a child. John Cooper painted extensively there & this view of his of "Lyme Regis" is one that is known to survive. #ELG https://t.co/nwr6YpgF0w
Good morning Lindsay @lindsay_bown & thank you: that is most kind. May I wish you both & Bob a very Happy & Healthy Christmas & New Year. Here's one that I hope you'll like (I think you've seen it before) that looks like a rather tired "Poinsettia" to me. It is by Walter Steggles https://t.co/e4r3wkTILJ
Good morning Dorothy @Dorfybrown & thank you. Yes, it is rather dull & dreary here in Dorset. Here's one from the county which I hope might brighten your day: this is "Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from c.1935. #JohnCooper #LymeRegis #Dorset #ELG https://t.co/k0SsDVkcom
@AdaptLaw My pleasure. I'm so glad that these images bring back such happy memories for you. Here are a few more of Henry Silk's smoking related images including "Pipe & Matches": "Bondman Tobacco" & two others. #HenrySilk #ELG
Good morning David @DavidJa81480109 & how interesting, thank you. A 5 shillings/hour increase in roughly 30 years! Here's one of three nude studies by Walter Steggles: undated but most likely from the late 1920s or very early 1930s. #WalterSteggles #ELG https://t.co/UVxgM6liAg
Good afternoon, Sandra @BorninBattersea & thank you, somewhat belatedly on my part, I'm afraid. Walter Steggles painted at least four versions of "Canvey Island" & that one is currently the only known survivor. We do, however, have this black & white photo of another version.#ELG https://t.co/9qYowfH0gN
Good morning Kathryn @KathrynRimming1 & thank you. The sun has come out now here in East Dorset so maybe this view of "Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from 1935 might be more appropriate! I think it has a much needed feel of summer "warmth" to it. #JohnCooper #LymeRegis #Dorset #ELG https://t.co/3PX8U9w9gE
Good morning John @JohnTizard & thank you, as always. Here's another one with a window in it. This is "The Scullery" by Walter Steggles which is in our show @BeecroftGallery in Southend now & until 08/01/22 (Weds-Sun;11am-5pm) except Thursday & Friday, 28th & 29th October #ELG https://t.co/BIyovrQJlr
Good morning Kim @ThUnknownArtist & how lovely, thank you. We visited @PallantGallery a few years ago to see The Model Gallery: it was an extraordinary sight! It was great to see "The Three Prima Donnas" by John Cooper amongst the work by all the other artists. It is 7ins x 5ins! https://t.co/v6YtULvPpt
