Original artwork description:

Edinburgh on a beautiful day of summer, a day filled with glorious Scottish sun, when the stone absorbs light and the city lives up to its unofficial title of Athens of the North. I walk alone, along streets, and crescent, and through squares, familiar and unchanged since childhood, inhaling the city’s scent. It is fresh, filled with flowers and with the thick, malty smell of distant breweries. It feels timeless, Eden-like, dreach wet days of fog, sleet and rain forgotten and forgiven. I want time to stand still, for the day of sun and light to never end. The crescent sweeps round, creating an illusion of infinity. The work is rich in light and colour, with satisfying detail. It makes a perfect gift of Scotland, a wonderful collection to any collection of Edinburgh art.
Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.
