Thank-you Gentle Author, and Doreen Fletcher for sharing these new paintings with me .
The are so redolent of scenes I remember of London, especially the East end.They take me there
immediately! I had visited Doeeen’s exhibit in Bow and enjoyed it so much.

This series of paintings is great. I am particularly drawn to Nana Yaa, Yellow House, Venus Ascent, and the serenity and subtlety of St. Gabriel on the Flats. While I love modern art and the art of the old masters, I very much enjoyed this selection, which resonated with me. Felt like I was right there.

Many of the pictures are in the magic few minutes in winter when the sky light balances the shop and house window lights and their reflection on the wet streets and I like how the graffiti have crept in. Is a new book a possibility ?

Many thanks to the Gentle Author for being a loyal and unflagging supporter of my work for the last ten years. It is solely because of him that I have been able to reach out to a far wider audience that I could ever have believed possible. And thank you also for the lovely comments that I’ve just read and which are much appreciated. Doreen

From the moment I first saw the collection of the Doreen Fletcher’s paintings which you published here back in 2015 (?), I have longed to see a show of her work. Sadly for me, the timing for any of the shows didn’t correspond with my travel to London from California. Until now! and I can’t wait to see this work in person. Seeing this will be my gift to myself on my birthday and I can’t think of a greater gift. HUZZAH!!

I love Doreen Fletcher’s work. A celebration of the domestic. I’m aware that it’s a cliché but I feel I could create a story from each picture. Amazing. Thank you.

More brilliant work by Doreen…

I particularly love the way she captures the twilight moments in winter and the welcoming lit windows.

Excellent compositions as well- as always!

This lady has a fine eye!
Not many would have thought to capture that petrol station.
I also love the shops… Buns and Berries, Nana Yaa, Seafood Supermarket.. wonderful!

I love the sheer normalness of Doreen’s paintings, they are so wonderful! I especially like the one of Donovan’s paper bag manufacturer. The factory with its original signage is next to the railway line near New Cross Station.
