David Gentleman's Britain

From the mysterious standing stones of Scotland's Orkney Islands to the wild, rocky mountains of Wales, David Gentleman has traveled across Britain in search of the scenes that evoke their character and essence. His techniques, watercolor and pen and wash, are traditional, but his approach is startlingly individual and vigorous--both in his drawings as well as in the observations that accompany them. Villages and cities, country lanes and motorways, landmarks and follies are delightfully juxtaposed in this enchanting tour of the British landscape. The author's previous books include David Gentleman's Italy, David Gentleman's Paris, and David Gentleman's India.
