Good evening Ros @RosMadeMe & thank you. Yes, Phyllis Bray was a stunning looking young woman. Here she is in later life in a portrait by her long term co-collaborator & muralist, Hans Feibusch. #PhyllisBray https://t.co/LXpDJ2HvRr
Good morning @bwthornton & thank you, as always. Here's another view of "Woodbridge" but by Walter Steggles from his post-war work. I've been told here that the view was painted at or near Kyson Point at Woodbridge. #WalterSteggles #woodbridge #Suffolk #ELG https://t.co/YgTJIpeyC4
Good morning Tom @tomemurtha & thank you, as always. I'm very glad to hear that you had your vaccination & I can imagine what a boost to one's morale it must be. Here's one to give you (& us all!) hope of better days to come: this is "Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from c.1935. #ELG https://t.co/n02WrimQgg
Good morning @VenablesBros & thank you, very belatedly on my part, I'm afraid. Walter Steggles painted at least four versions of "Canvey Island" during the 1930s: here's a black & white photo of one of them, which was bought from exhibition by the Earl of Sandwich in 1931. #ELG https://t.co/l3nZToFSnh
Good morning Linda @LindaAizlewood & thank you, very belatedly on my part, I'm afraid. How lovely that your son has fond memories of childhood holidays on the canal. Here's one that I hope you'll like (but not a canal scene!): this is "Boats on the River Yare" by Walter Steggles https://t.co/djSYFrAhUL
Good morning Annie @Thunderoad75 & thank you, as always. Here's one with some brightness to it that I hope might reflect the weather conditions that you're describing in London today. This is "St Mark's Church" by Harold Steggles from 1932. #HaroldSteggles #SundayMorning #ELG https://t.co/0AM5eTKIb2
Good evening Kathryn @KathrynRimming1 & how interesting, thank you. Yes, Hans Feibusch & Phyllis Bray worked together on many mural projects for more than thirty years & they were both members of the London Group. Here's a fine portrait of "Phyllis Bray", in later life, by Hans. https://t.co/5A8dp9mPWb
Good evening Annie @Thunderoad75 & thank you. Isn't it interesting how one's sense of smell is so strongly intertwined with one's memories! Here's one that might strike a chord with you: this is "The Scullery" by Walter Steggles from 1927. #WalterSteggles #ELG https://t.co/s22REWOViS
Good evening Quinn @QuinnPiper & thank you: may I wish you a very Happy Christmas & New Year & the prospect of a new incumbent at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! Here's one that I know is a favourite of yours: this is "The Scullery" by Walter Steggles from 1927. #WalterSteggles #ELG https://t.co/DQpQhy7udT
Good evening Carol @cfranklinlamble & thank you: that is most kind. Here's one that I hope you'll like. This is a little watercolour & Biro sketch of "Calne" in Wiltshire by Walter Steggles from the late eighties or early nineties. #WalterSteggles #Calne #Wiltshire #ELG https://t.co/pDUGwUstUr
