Albert Bridge in Spring, London, Original painting, Blossom, Pink, City, Floral

2024

About the Item

This painting is of Albert Bridge on the River Thames. It is spring and the early prolific blossom is beautiful pink against the light blue sky. Its huge dark piers contrast against the water and reflect on it's moving surface. The bridge spans the river with its famous white cables, it was designed by Rowland Mason Ordish and was opened in 1873. Troops of soldiers when crossing the bridge in had to break step, otherwise the bridge would vibrate tremendously. There have been two proposals to demolish the bridge, the first in 1926, which did not have enough funding for the replacement bridge. The second by the London County Council in 1957 was thwarted by huge public uproar and a campaign led by John Betjeman.

Her first true love for painting came from an inspirational Art teacher at Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls where she started painting in Oils at thirteen years old. Here she learnt to paint using classic oil painting techniques, and was drawn to the figure from early life drawing lessons. During this period she was fortunate enough to work under Mary Fedden in her studio and with Portrait Sculptor Peter Lambda with whom she further developed her technique and composition. After gaining her BA Hons in Sculpture at Leeds University Eleanor travelled for some time in Asia before coming home to study Furniture making. Eleanor worked as a Cabinet maker and a Restorer before returning to Fine Art painting. Eleanor’s inspiration is taken from her surroundings where she has a love for the every day things, often passed by without a second thought. Eleanor’s paintings are vibrant, often painted Plein air and finished in the studio. Starting with bold outlines, many layers of paint are used to create the depth of colour. Her paintings are spontaneous, using washes of oil to create the desired form. Often finishing with a palette knife producing a pleasing texture. Her current work is inspired by the landscape of the Cotswolds, and contrasted with long shadows created by figures in urban landscapes.
