My Lowry Room with a View

---

I consider myself extremely lucky to live where I do, nestled in the Georgian Quarter of Liverpool. Especially having a top-floor flat right at the peak of a hill that overlooks a Lowry-esque roof-scape that never fails to fascinate me as I eat my breakfast.

For anyone interested in art, L.S.Lowry was born in 1887 in Stretford in Manchester in the North West of England. As a student, he studied at the Manchester School of Art, under the French Impressionist, Pierre Adolphe Valette.

Lowry is most famous for his paintings depicting industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20th century. He has a distinctive style, with the hustle and bustle of industrial activities portrayed by almost 'matchstick-like men' and his use of perspective in the way he paints buildings is genius.

I can find no creative commons licence images of his artwork, which isn't surprising, but you can find a link to the google images search results for Lowry here.

If you take a look at some of those paintings you might see why I feel so blessed as a fan of Lowry's work, as I have my own perpetual Lowry painting right there in the window of my living room.

Whenever I'm lacking inspiration for my writing I go to one of two places - The Anglican Cathedral which I recently wrote about, or I just stand at my window for a few minutes to clear my mind, make space for ideas, and drink in the spirit of the city.

Thanks for reading 🌿
