Eleanor Crow: Suffolk Kitchen Oil on linen panel 50 x 60cm framed SOLD

June 21, 2025 By fiona

Eleanor Crow exhibition Falling Light Town House Spitalfields

This beautiful kitchen in Suffolk is alive with colour and I was particularly drawn to the red chairs contrasting with the teal cooker. There are are myriad colourful items, both utilitarian and decorative, from the radio and semi-translucent candles to the casually placed green notebook on the table, yet there is a sense of organisation as well as joy in all the things collected together in this warm and welcoming space.

Eleanor Crow: North London Kitchen, Spring Light Oil on linen 50 x 60cm framed SOLD

June 21, 2025 By fiona

Eleanor Crow exhibition Falling Light Town House Spitalfields

The windows of this beautiful kitchen face north and west – to paint it, I had to avoid late afternoon light, which would have changed things considerably; the light shifted and brightened, but overall the direction remained roughly constant. It was an unseasonably hot spring day, and the open back door allowed the sound of birds to filter into the kitchen from the garden as I painted. This light, airy room is filled with items collected over the years, and whilst people moved around the kitchen, occasionally moving things, the overall effect was one of deep, peaceful calm.

I enjoyed the contrast between the yellow of the walls, with its deeper tones, and the bright pale buttery yellow of the picked flowers. It’s a busy scene, but the windows and table, with their structure of horizontals and verticals, offset the more varied forms of the daily objects.

Eleanor Crow: At Hogarth’s House Oil on linen 50 x 60cm framed SOLD

June 21, 2025 By fiona

Eleanor Crow exhibition Falling Light Town House Spitalfields

I was kindly allowed to paint a large watercolour in Hogarth’s House, which I subsequently worked up into this painting. Despite the house being so close to a busy arterial road into London, it was a peaceful space and I longed to have seen the distant houses as they would have been in Hogarth’s time.

Eleanor Crow: Hanging Shirts Oil on linen 50 x 60cm framed £1250

Another painting which I worked up from watercolours and, unusually for me, from photographs as it is no longer possible to visit this magical place. I enjoyed the varied blues of the shirts and the painted wooden walls, as well as the fall of light just picking out the sleeves of the shirts.

Eleanor Crow: Afternoon at the Art Workers’ Guild Oil on linen 50 x 55cm framed SOLD

June 21, 2025 By fiona

Eleanor Crow exhibition Falling Light Town House Spitalfields

This is a painting made inside the beautiful early Georgian building that houses the Art Workers’ Guild in Bloomsbury. The light levels shifted and became brighter as I painted, but a softer light fell into the atrium seen through the window, with its fused glass louvre windows. The architecture enhances the light: in the Guild meeting room beyond a glazed barrel vault roof floods the building with light.

The light over the green-grey kitchen area changed constantly and I enjoyed seeing the reflections and shadows bouncing upwards and across the units, as well as over the few items beginning to be set up ready for an event later that evening.

Eleanor Crow: A Corner of the Eagle Farringdon Oil on canvas panel 39 x 39cm framed SOLD

June 21, 2025 By fiona

 

Eleanor Crow exhibition Falling Light Town House Spitalfields

This is my favourite corner of the pub, seen from a table on the other side of the room, close to the door. At times, there is a hectic schedule of food preparation and the serving of drinks. Here, however, is a period of calm before the public arrive. The brown bowls are ready to receive oil for the dipping of bread, and I loved the brightness of white paper and crockery against the brown varnish and steel of the counter.

Eleanor Crow: Hanging Laundry at Dennis Severs’ House Oil on linen 40 x 50cm framed SOLD

June 21, 2025 By fiona

Eleanor Crow exhibition Falling Light Town House Spitalfields

I spent several hours painting little watercolours and drawings to prepare for this painting at Dennis Severs’ House. These items of clothing, catching the light in the dark space at the top of the staircase, have a mysterious quality suggestive of the people who may have come and gone in the building across the centuries. I love the way the light passes through the thin fabrics either lighting up details, or obscuring seams or embroidery in shadow.
