A bit of the ordinary with a pretty name


                          Daisy Road, South Woodford, E18

I was in search of new chimney pots to draw and there was a lovely hazy blue distance, with pylons, to go with them! There aren't many good distance views round here but fortunately there is a road bridge over the Central Line. Pretty nippy at this time of year though.

London on the edge ... of E18

East from George Lane Viaduct



Very small watercolours of the in-between the houses and trees of George Lane, South Woodford. I wanted to take a look at the backdrop to my part of East London, giving it the same scrutiny as if painting a building close up. The ill defined becomes the centre of attention; with a touch of foreground to put it in its place.

South Woodford Odeon, High Road, London E18

Shhh! its just started! Pencil and watercolour 149 x 210 mm Evelyn Rowland

This delightful piece of Odeon architecture is only a facade. Inside it has been divided into the usual 'screens';  perfectly adequate to view but woefully short on experience. 'The pictures' used to be somewhere to go;  the building was important.   Still, the outside is preserved, at least from the first floor up.
