As a consequence she carried out a number of commissioned portraits as well as paintings of cities and famous buildings on a commissioned basis.

Enid’s career as an artist started with a variety of works, mostly abstracts but including some paintings involving realistic building subjects. She gradually moved into a fairly complex variety of abstractions and allegorical subjects, including abstractions of city plans.

Throughout this period she also carried out a number of portrait commissions and other commissioned works. She then started to draw cities as seen from the air, which gave rise to her “In Praise of Cities” series of serigraphs, drawing about 34 cities in 15 years. 

At the same time she started to paint large “portraits” of famous historical buildings. The last completed painting, which Enid did, was a large one of the SkyDome (now Rogers Centre) during construction. After this she started the large painting of Sienna, which was to have been part of a pair of paintings. The first she had completed in 1986, of Sienna Cathedral, the partly finished painting was of the ancient city centre with the cathedral in the background. However, she abandoned it in a twenty five percent state and never finished it. It hung, fixed to the wall of her studio/dining room for several years and is now in the possession of our daughter Caroline, who has kept it as a memento of the abrupt way in which Enid ended her career as a painter and print maker.
