These are excellent - touch of Hopper (Rene's Cafe and Bus Stop particularly) and a whiff of Lowry occasionally

Re: Paintings of the East End
Very talented indeed. Look (e.g.) how she handles the difficult perspective in "Rene's Cafe".
I hope she gets the recognition she well deserves.

Re: Paintings of the East End
Very interesting. I particularly liked the canal scene.
I wonder what sort of size the original paintings are. I find this information is so often missing from reproductions of art, so that when the real thing is viewed it comes as as shock, much bigger or smaller than I imagined.

Re: Paintings of the East End
Damn, thought you meant something historic. Has the East End changed so much those pics are no longer current?
