Original artwork description:

Shadows and shade, a magical place where Edinburgh stone, rigid, and classical, blends into a sylvain world of hidden garden, of moss and coolth. The crescent is one of several that formed an outer fringe of territory in childhood, close to my grandmother’s flat. To the side, an enchanted private garden cascades down to the valley, whilst similar streets branch off. A place of delicious serenity, of Grecian columns and huge windows, drawing rooms with pianos and basement flats. This work is a wonderful souvenir of Edinburgh, the Athens of the North, and a great addition to any collection.
Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.
