An occasional series featuring buildings and places I like and painted by Peter Topping.
Like many in Eltham I continue to remember the library with great fondness. It was a place I used a lot, borrowing books and records from its collection and spending hours in the reference section.
It was also where our Stella worked and for all those reasons it was the first building I asked Peter to paint using a photograph taken by Chrissy Rose.
Peter and I have been working together on projects for almost a decade including two books and an 80 meter installation along with various smaller displays and plenty of commissions.
And that is all I want to say.
Location; Eltham, London
After all I have written about the library already and its history is well known.*

Excellent perspective and sky, but the colour of the brickwork is over the top. The walls and columns (planes) turned to the right would work well if they were in shade. The contrast would make the work sing. I hope you get my drift.
