Description
Peter Brown, aka ‘Pete the Street’, captures Bath’s undulating stone streets in this tonal painting typical of the artist’s impressionistic style. It sits in its original painted lilac and gilt frame —an excellent example by one of the UK’s foremost plein air painters.
“I work entirely from life using the cities and the countryside as my subjects. I start with what tickles me, and this is likely to be a certain play of the light, weather, space and everyday life. Most of my drawings and paintings take several sittings over consecutive days and in that time I may meet police officers, dog walkers, road sweepers, residents and tourists.”
