Examples of Lilian Leahy's work from the Group's active period are very rare but this one of Church Farm Litlington' by her from 1933 would make my Top Ten because it takes me back to my childhood, growing up on a farm!

I thought I'd start today with one that I haven't shown for a very long time. This is 'Kentish Farm' by Lilian Hawthorn (nee Leahy) from her post-war work, most likely the mid to late 1970s or the 1980s.

I thought I'd start today with 'Church Farm, Litlington' by Lilian Leahy which is undated but most likely comes from c.1933/1934, judging by other work in the area at that time by her husband to be, Elwin Hawthorne.

I thought I'd start today with 'Church Farm, Litlington' by Lilian Leahy from c.1933/34. Lilian exhibited 9 paintings with the Group (1 each year + 1) during their eight year existence &, in 1937, she married Elwin Hawthorne, as you'll see in the photo.

I thought I'd start today & the new week with this lovely watercolour of 'Woodbridge Tide Mill' by Lilian Leahy which is undated but it most likely comes from 1934 when her husband to be, Elwin Hawthorne exhibited 'Mill at Woodbridge'.

I thought I'd start today with 'Farm near Lewes' by Lilian Leahy from c.1934 which featured in our recent exhibition Lighthouse Poole that closed on 08/04/23. The location was actually Southerham Farm which is just South of Lewes.

Good evening Sunday Morning Painter & thank you. Yes, it is a lovely painting. Here's Lilian Leahy's preparatory sketch for 'Church Farm, Litlington' from 1933. It is fascinating to see her colour notes in pencil dotted across the sketch.

Good evening, Kathryn Kathryn Rimmington & thank you. Looking at Street View, it seems as if Lilian Leahy would still have been able to recognise the view that she painted 90 years ago!

Good evening B&W Thornton of Stratford-upon-Avon & thank you, as always. Also from Sussex, here's 'Farm near Lewes' by Lilian Leahy from c.1933/34. It transpires that the location was Southerham Farm near Lewes. The building in the background of the painting is the old cement works.
