A little dog threads through the figures below a clock-topped spire and smoking mill chimneys. On the right, a bright yellow Bile Beans sign catches the eye. It may bring York's iconic Bile Beans sign to mind, though this painting doesn't depict York. Sean Durkin balances that unexpected flash of humour with the quieter weight of an ordinary northern street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSean's connection to L.S. Lowry began with a remarkable morning in childhood. He woke to find a Lowry painting on the family mantelpiece, stolen from a Middlesbrough gallery by his father, John Durkin. John's ransom demands were as unexpected as the theft: better gallery security, Sunday opening so working people could enjoy the art, and the Mayor's underpants raffled for charity. The painting stayed with Sean long after it was returned, helping inspire his own affectionate, humorous portraits of northern life. Look closely for the burglar in his striped top and the policeman, recurring characters that carry a little of that family story into Sean's scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more of Sean's northern streets in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-heart-of-the-town-limited-edition-print-by-sean-durkin\"\u003eThe Heart of the Town\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-northern-saturday-by-sean-durkin-limited-edition-print\"\u003eA Northern Saturday\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ednas-baps-limited-edition-print-by-sean-durkin\"\u003eEdna's Baps\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by C\u0026amp;D Fine Art.
