Isleworth grandmother turns her anger into art

She took lots of photos of the machinery in her rage, but soon decided that there could be something more beautiful going on outside her house.
The retired art teacher ended up painting what she saw, and recording it in a different way.
As a result, she has created a collection of acrylic paintings inspired by the £140m building site she can see from her bedroom.
The paintings were shown in a exhibition called 'Trucks and Diggers' was held at Redlees studio on Worton Road, Isleworth, on May 13, 14 and 15.
One of them was sold for £1,300, with another fetching £350.
Mrs Davies, said: "My initial reaction to the site was like many of my neighbours, I was really angry. But then one day, when I was looking out with my grandson, something just changed.
"An army of diggers facing my property were uniformly parked in a line on top of a big mound of earth. It looked dramatic and it got me excited - I began to see how this could make an interesting subject for my art work. It was then that I started painting the trucks and diggers at work."
Mrs Davies would get up at dawn to watch them work and became fascinated with the "continually changing landscape" happening outside her home, that she wants to keep painting even after the construction work is finished in 2013.
She added: "I'm used to painting cats, so it's nice to have a different subject matter to focus on."
Thames Water says it has made "significant progress" on the upgrade, which will enable Mogden to treat 50 per cent more sewage than at present, so it can better cope with heavy rainfall, helping to prevent the sewage works being overloaded and discharging into the river.
Nick Fawcett, Thames Water's head of programme delivery, said: "We know the diggers are not popular with everyone, but it's encouraging to hear of a local resident who actually welcomes them. You can spot up to 15 of them operating in this area during peak working hours although we have done our best to minimise the noise and dust.
"We went along to the exhibition and were really impressed with what we saw. We think one would look great hanging in the office."
