About the Item

Title: The Monument Southport Lord Street Lancashire Signed 1968 British Watercolour by John Steane (b.1931) Signed: Bottom left Size: 14.5 inches (height) x 22 inches (width) watercolor painting on paper, unframed condition: Good, with some slight corner wear and light creasing to edges Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: A beautifully observed watercolour street scene by British artist John Steane (b.1931), this signed work from 1968 captures The Monument on Lord Street, Southport, a distinguished Victorian shopping boulevard in Lancashire known for its elegant arcades, ironwork verandas, and tree-lined pavements. The view looks across a quiet promenade shaded by spring foliage, with green benches drawing the eye toward the historic sandstone colonnade and surrounding architecture. Southport’s Lord Street has long been admired for its combination of Regency and Victorian design, said to have influenced the layout of the Champs-Élysées in Paris. This painting reflects both its grandeur and tranquillity, with dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy and hints of warm red and ochre façades behind the trees. Steane’s style balances fine architectural drawing with expressive brushwork in the foliage and shadows, capturing the essence of a quiet moment in an urban oasis. A rare urban subject among the artist’s predominantly rural and coastal works, this piece holds particular appeal for collectors of Northern British towns, architectural history, or scenes of 20th-century everyday life.

Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
