Since October 2007 she has captured, in her own very distinctive style, many of the capital's most famous scenes, from St Pancras Station to the Barbican, from the Thames Barrier to Parliament Square. This book features full colour sketches of London's most famous scenes. It is a great gift book. It presents extraordinary production values. It includes over 40 sketches reproduced in vivid colour on top grade art paper with descriptive text. 'Neale's vibrant collection of watercolours and sketches capture the essence of the London scenes she's chosen. She adds her own idiosyncratic comments around the edge of each picture. Sometimes ... the text is incorporated as part of the vista. These touches add further life to her busy representations of some of the capital's most interesting spots, both touristy and a little more recherche' What's On In London 'Her passion for buildings... the canny choices of location and... unsual scribblings around the edges of each painting turn[s] this collection into something... substantial' Good Book Guide 'The distinctive style of the author, accompanied by her obvious enthusiasm for London's sights makes London in Landscape a delightful little book that provokes the reader to discover fresh attractions, and to re-consider familiar ones' Antiques Magazine About the author: Karen Neale qualified as an architect, and is now a full-time working artist. In 2001 she was awarded a prestigious Churchill fellowship, which allowed her to travel from London to Nepal, through Europe, Iran, Uzbekistan and India, sketching her journey.
