Comments on: Eleanor Crow’s ‘Step Inside’ https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/11/14/eleanor-crows-step-inside/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 16 Nov 2021 12:10:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Cherub https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/11/14/eleanor-crows-step-inside/#comment-1435096 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 12:10:28 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=189471#comment-1435096 These are very beautiful paintings. The bowl of lemons is lovely, I can almost smell the zest and the blue and white bowl is so pretty.

They very much remind me of Vermeer but also the Danish artist Hammershoi whose interior scenes are also filled with wonderful light effects coming through open windows.

Looking forward to seeing the actual paintings at the exhibition.

Also, delicately strong. Excellent composition and coloration framing a very well stated sensibility. Thanks!

A very talented lady! I have one of her books, but these are a completely different subject. Thank you so much for sharing.

I hope the artist might be able to do a book of these paintings! Or, in the meantime, can I hope the Gentle Author will share any information about buying prints? It’s even further to London from Eugene, Oregon than from Cologne, Germany!

These rooms seem to radiate with inhabitants that have JUST left. We can almost hear their muffled sounds, just out of the frame. The clutter of cutlery, one-sided phone conversations, a dog’s bark, kitchen noises, etc. It is human nature, I think, to nestle into our surroundings and “claim” them. I can easily imagine the corner table in the restaurant being a “favorite”. Or, the blue and white bowl being “the one” that is always used for lemons. Imagine the anticipation of entering that antique shop? And the aromas in the low-ceilinged kitchen?
I’m envious of those who will see these full-sized paintings in person.
Thank you, GA, for shining a light.

Beautiful paintings. I would like to see more … but it’s a long way from Cologne/Germany. Has Mrs. Crow an own website?
Greetings to her!

GA, I really enjoyed those interiors by Eleanor Crow. Quite beautiful.

My favorites are “Kitchen at Sutton House” with the play of light from outside,“Kitchen at Townhouse, Spitalfields” with the reflections on those glass domes covering the delicious desserts, and “Bowl of Lemons” in that lovely bowl – I love lemons!
