Hailstorm on Pompy Hill is done in a 'naive', "Sunday painter" style popular in Northern England. My friend Keith Williamson - who is pictured sheltering his two Cairn Terriers Poppy and Monty from a hail storm - lives very close to L.S. Lowry's house which is in Mottram in Longdendale, in the Pennines in Northern England.

Hailstorm on Pompy Hill was executed in a manner not dissimilar to the style of Lowry, but perhaps with more colour and hopefully with less existentialism.
