Good morning, Janet @janetwebb.bsky.social & how true, thank you. Interestingly, two years after painting this, Elwin Hawthorne married Lilian Leahy (his fellow Group member) at the Church of Holy Family on Halbutt Street in March 1937. #ElwinHawthorne #Dagenham #EastLondonGroup

The sun is shining here in our part of the world so I hope that it is too for you all this #SaturdayMorning, wherever you may be. Here's our traditional start to the day & week-end: this is "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

For the final day of our canal themed week here's "Red Bridge" by Walter Steggles. The oil painting is a post-war re-working of the image derived from preparatory sketches of the scene from 1931. #WalterSteggles #EastLondonGroup

For the penultimate day of our canal themed week here's "The Hertford Union Canal (AKA Duckett's Cut)" by Albert Turpin from his post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1950s. The large building now houses the Chisenhale Gallery. #AlbertTurpin #EastLondonGroup

Continuing our canal themed week, here's "Canal at Bow" by Walter Steggles from 1931 along with his preparatory sketch for the view. The bridge was for the Great Eastern Railway adjacent to the old Bryant & May factory. #WalterSteggles #EastLondonGroup

I thought that I might run a canal based theme this week so, with that in mind, here's "Regent's Canal" by Elwin Hawthorne from 1934. #ElwinHawthorne #EastLondonGroup

It is #SundayMorning once again &, somewhat later than intended, here's our traditional start to the day: "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from the first Group show at Alex. Reid & Lefevre in 1929. It is in the collection at Brighton Museums. #CecilOsborne #EastLondonGroup

To conclude our landscape themed week here's a very rare example of Elwin Hawthorne's work in this genre: urban views predominate in his known catalogue of paintings. This is a watercolour of "Purbeck Hlls" by him from 1934. #ElwinHawthorne #EastLondonGroup #Purbecks #Dorset

With a cloak of autumnal mist here this morning I thought I'd start today & the new week with a great favourite of mine (& one that I covet deeply!!). This is "Essex Landscape, Early Morning" by Walter Steggles from 1938 (with the Chappel Viaduct in the background). #WalterSteggles #EastLondonGroup

For those of you who might be interested, there are four oil paintings by Walter Steggles coming for sale @Dreweatts_1759 on 21st October from lot No.114-117 here:- tinyurl.com/bdyh8f9d "Boats on the Thames near Cookam": "A Breckland Gate": "Near Maiden Bradley" & "Bow Bridge". #EastLondonGroup

I can't quite believe that October has arrived already (as has the autumn) & with it the shorter days to come but, one can't "stop the clock"! Here's our traditional start to every #SaturdayMorning: "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

For day three of our portrait themed week here's a lovely study by Cecil Osborne for "Pamela from Billericay" which is undated but I suspect that it might have been completed at the evening art classes in the mid 1930s, but I can't be sure. #CecilOsborne #EastLondonGroup

On day two of our portrait themed week, here's "Portrait of a young lady" by John Cooper from c.1932/33. To the best of my knowledge, I believe that the sitter was Cooper's new wife & fellow ELG member, Phyllis Bray. #JohnCooper #PhyllisBray #EastLondonGroup

Good morning @lakesstiles.bsky.social & thank you, that is most kind. Knowing of your penchant for gates & stiles, here's "A Wiltshire Gate" by Walter Steggles from his post-war work, most likely to mid to late 1970s. I hope you'll like it. #WalterSteggles #EastLondonGroup #SundayMorning

It is the last #SaturdayMorning of September & it is now officially autumn: not quite sure where the past few months have gone but.....! Here's our traditional start to the day & week-end: "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

For the penultimate day of our "rarely seen" themed week here's "The Kursaal" by Henry Silk from c.1931/32. The photo of Henry was taken at 11, Rounton Road in Bow at his sister, Ellen Hawthorn's house where he rented a room. #HenrySilk #TheKursaal #Southend #Essex #EastLondonGroup

For day two of our "rarely seen" themed week, here's one that I have shown here occasionally in the past but, by no means regularly. This is "Dagenham" by Elwin Hawthorne that most likely dates to the early 1930s. #ElwinHawthorne #Dagenham #EastLondonGroup

Somewhat later than intended, here's our long-standing start to #SundayMorning. This is "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from 1929. It is in the collection at Brighton & Hove Museum where it is currently on display until 2027. #CecilOsborne #EastLondonGroup

Good morning, Jan @janjonesauthor.bsky.social & thank you. Here's another one by the same artist: I hope you'll like it. This is "Appledore" by Brynhild Parker from 1932. #BrynhildParker #Appledore #Devon #EastLondonGroup #SaturdayMorning

To conclude our watercolour themed week here's one that I've only shown here relatively rarely but it is a striking example of his craft by Walter Steggles. This is "Amberley" by him from c.1935/36. #WalterSteggles #EastLondonGroup
