Memories of Bristol
900 prints 16" x 22", and 50 prints 25" x 34", 1997.
Bristol was always going to feature high on my list of towns as it represents happy memories of my childhood. I was taken by my father to the Zoo several times and remember standing nervously on the Suspension Bridge looking at the cars and people far below. I reacquainted myself with the city in February 1997 and then started drawing, by July I had finished the water-colour and published it as a limited edition print later that month. The composition includes the River Avon and Gorge, Suspension Bridge and Clifton including the terraces, the Cathedral, Park Street and Wills Tower, Brunel House, Victoria Rooms and Royal West of England Academy, parts of Spike Island, Queen Square, King Street, Corn Street,Broad Street, Christmas Steps, The Castle ( rebuilt), medieval Bristol Bridge, St Mary Redcliffe, two shot towers several historic Bristol pubs, SS Great Britain and the Matthew, along with much much more.
