Blue Bell Bank, Sutherland Road, Longton is a 1943 watercolor by Puller, a social realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a row of old brick buildings with tall, pointy chimneys. The sky is pale and soft, while the ground is covered in patches of snow. In the foreground, there’s a fence and a sloped, icy hill leading down to a waterway with a small dock or ramp. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture the texture of the buildings and the uneven snow. The colors are muted, focusing on earthy browns and grays with just a hint of blue in the sky. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this watercolor in person.
