I’m delighted to see the Knutton painting amongst the London pieces. As a Potteries expat myself, I had been wondering what Doreen’s work from her earlier North Staffordshire days would look like. I do hope you’ll share more of Doreen’s paintings from this era and area in due course. Spitalfields and Stoke-on-Trent may be worlds apart in many ways, but Doreen’s consistent work brings out unexpected commonality and humanity.
Congratulations, GA and Doreen, on finding each other, and bringing this wonderful body of work before our eyes.

Thank you for the interesting articles and paintings. I particularly love the artists use of colour.

I hope you will be able to curate Doreen Fletcher’s paintings another time at the gallery as unfortunately I was too late to obtain a ticket which must have sold out fast.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, thanks for showcasing more of Doreen Fletcher’s lovely paintings. I particularly liked Sheldon’s Dress Shop, Knutton, 1982. The reflection of the Venetian blind in the window and the shadow of the fence to the right are most effective. The figure of her mother is quite moving also…

Please could you tell me how one can buy Doreen Fletcher paintings and their price. Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend the exhibition but love her paintings. Best wishes for the success of the exhibition.
Many thanks
Ann

The more I see of Doreen’s wonderful work, the more I think that in addition to the meticulous detail, atmosphere etc, they have the quality of stillness, like that found in Dutch interior paintings.

Doreen, heartfelt good wishes for the retrospective. I wish I could be there and very much hope to see your work ‘in the flesh’ one day

Thank you for showing more paintings . I love them and feel as sad as you that the landscape has changed so much . Its money , money , money . I am not able to come for the private view but want to buy the book . I have been following you over the last few weeks .
And hope to visit before the end of the exhibition.
Thank you both .

The more of Doreen Fletcher’s work I see the more impressed I am. Better late than never, as the saying goes. I wish I could attend her exhibition but it’s not possible, at least I can view her work here, thank you Gentle Author.

Looking forward to seeing the real paintings on Thursday! But sad that so many are of buildings which have been destroyed…
