She had a studio at the bottom of Houndsgate from which she could look out across the road to a Shipstones pub, now replaced by a branch of Halifax, I think. Her studio in the late 1940s was on the top floor with large windows and skylights. Some years ago it was up for Let and I went up and checked view and window shapes. That proved my supposition.<br /> <br />That painting and several others by Gibbs were acquired through me after the death of her husband Sir Hugh Willatt. There are other paintings and drawings of Nottingham from the '40s to the late '50s elsewhere.<br />There is to be an exhibition of Drawings and Prints by Evelyn Gibbs at Aberystwyth University ( School of Art) from February 17th to March 24th 2012.Ross Bradshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566217025078523575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706795077889134134.post-56767945385543414092011-12-19T00:12:33.849-08:002011-12-19T00:12:33.849-08:00Hi - I have just noticed your September comment.

It looks a little bit like The Bell Inn on the edge of the Market Square, but I suspect that it's probably somewhere more obscure, or long demolished? Do you have any idea where it might actually be?<br /><br />Also, do you know if the city council own any more of Evelyn's work, the handful of paintings I've seen are all terrific & I'd like to see more?<br /><br />Hope you can help (& thanks!).ROOKSBYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671866914636998375noreply@blogger.com
