L'Observateur Black & White with Steve doing the drawing

with Steve doing the drawing and inking and me doing the painting

sourced by an American dealer friend who knows our soft spot for theatrical subjects

mostly selling for a few hundred here and there and I feel a certain poignancy that she is now remembered for these ordinary little pot boilers rather than the early oils that augured such a dazzling future

this has the essence of a book cover – only really making sense in the context of the title and narrative within

Tickertape parades are a distinctly American phenomena and I sense the slight distance this British artist seems to feel
