Local artist, Jean Elrington, died peacefully last summer at her home in Lloyd Baker Street aged 95. Professionally, Jean worked as an architect and, from childhood, was a committed watercolour artist, a passion which lasted all her life. She painted places that were close to her heart around the world and extensively in the area where she lived. Along with her architectural training, Jean’s painting style and personality were unique. Her vivid use of colour, here apparently casual and playful use of line, brush and perspective mean that the pictures are her legacy.
