Edinburgh
Scenes
Much of the stunning architecture of
the medieval Old Town
dates back to the 16th century and is now accurately captured by Athol,
in 8 incredibly detailed architectural watercolour Cityscapes, as it
appears today in the 21st century.
In 1995 Edinburgh’s
historical Old Town was inscribed as a
World Heritage site and in 1999 became the home of the new Scottish
Parliament.
Glasgow Scenes
Glasgow was described by the author
Daniel Defoe in 1723 as "the
beautifullest little city in Britain", the environment of which he
spoke remains today and contributed to the decision to make Glasgow the
City of Architecture and Design in 1999. Two famous scenes
display George Square and the River Clyde, at present.
About the Artist -
Athol J. Pirie
Athol has lived and
worked most of his adult life in Scotland as a Graphic Artist,
developing his own style on a broad range of commissions. His earlier
years were spent in London in the sixties, improving his skills as an
illustrator. It was during this period that Hogarth’s
engraved scenes of London influenced his style of architectural
drawing. His work has been reproduced in America, Australia, New
Zealand and Africa, although it is only recently that he has
concentrated on detailed watercolours of Edinburgh & Glasgow.
Representing
unique mementos of Edinburgh & Glasgow, these would
make an ideal gift for anyone connected to either
beautiful, ancient Scottish city or perhaps simply an admirer of their
magnificent architecture.
Prices from
£19.99 + £3.00 worldwide postage.
