'The Aldwych, London.' (1955) Charles McCall's London is often made up of views from a corner of a city street - his paintings have a strong sense of colour and painterliness just like his mentor Samuel Peploe.
I caught this local stopper gliding along the Dawlish sea wall just after sunrise this morning. There’s something magical about this stretch of railway – where trains meet the tide, and every journey is a coastal adventure. 📷 @BeachCamsMan #Dawlish #GreatWesternRailway
'Waterloo Road, London' (2024) by Michael John Ashcroft michaeljohnashcroft.com
'Drought,' (1933) like many works from Eric Ravilious’ career captures everyday English rural life in the inter-war years. There's a sense of unease with the presence of machinery, a theme which he was to develop as an official war artist when he depicted the machinery of war.
