Man Lying on a Wall by L S Lowry 1957

Google tells me today was Lowry's 125th birthday. This is my favourite Lowry. It is on a bookmark so the umbrella and briefcase are not there. Someone gave me a mug with it on when I retired and it has always symbolised retirement for me. Unfortunately I dropped it. When we lived near Salford we visited the gallery and Lowry theatre regularly. How I miss it. It occurs to me that it would be a bit of fun to recreate this picture. Maybe a blip for next week.

Lowry said of this painting "People.. refuse to believe me when I tell them I saw a man dressed just like that, doing just that, from the top of a bus in Hasligden.. I couldn't resist doing him as a subject"
