This week I’m going to cheat a bit for my weekly photograph. What I give you is a scan of one of my mother’s watercolours: one painted during the war when she was Warden of Leatherhead YHA. It’s interesting to compare this with her later work, as shown in my earlier post about Dora’s funeral, and see how her technique and style changed over the years.

Dora Marshall, Bedroom Window, YHA Leatherhead (The Old Rising Sun)
Watercolour, 30×22.5cm, ca. 1944
