L.S. Lowry, The Pond, 1950, oil on canvas.
The Pond’ is an impressive industrial landscape containing many features typical of Lowry’s work; smoking chimneys, terraced houses and on the right, in the middle distance, the Stockport Viaduct. The scene is brought to life by his so called ‘matchstick’ people who swarm like ants through the city’s streets and open spaces. 'This is a composite picture built up from a blank canvas. I hadn’t the slightest idea of what I was going to put in the canvas when I started the picture but it eventually came out as you see it. This is the way I like working best’. Lowry considered this to be his finest industrial landscape.

“What did you do, Crowley?”
“Nothing!”
Aziraphale gives him A Look.
“I may have… run out of pound coins.”
“And?”
“And… glued a two pound coin to the pavement outside the bakery.”
Aziraphale splutters.
“It’s not my fault the baker’s a skinflint. I mean who breaks their arm trying to pry up a few quid?”
“I can’t believe you, Crowley. You’re… you’re…”
“I’m what?”
Aziraphale’s not listening. He’s spied a woman peering into the window of the bookshop. And she has a child with her.
“Sorry, my dear, I’ve got to go run off a potential customer!”
Colab with @infinitevariety who gave me the idea to paint over a Lowry painting AND supplied the story behind the image
