Brown's Bath: The Work of Peter Brown
Peter Brown

Description

For a city as stunning as Bath you'd be surprised how few really high quality coffee-table or gift books on the city are out there. August 2008 brought this new corker to the fold though. Peter Brown (known locally as Pete "the Street" for his easel's ever-presence on Bath's streets come rain or heavy rain) has produced a wonderful hardback anthology of his distinctive oil paintings and charcoal drawings. In every image a familiar Bath street vista, nook or cranny is given fresh life by Pete's paintings. In April snow, summer rain and even, occasionally, golden sunshine Peter captures the ever-changing tones of our Georgian city and helps us realise how lucky we are to be in a city so closely surrounded by verdant hills with spectacular views. Peter's comments alongside each colour plate give an insight into how it was created (and, in many cases, the comments of us nosy Bathonians as he painted!).

All in all a wonderful testament to Peter Brown's talents and the keepsake-of-the-city book to have been published since we opened Mr B's.
