A Perspective on Stowe

Stowe House sits in the middle of the equally magnificent Stowe Gardens, now run by the National Trust. The house itself contains a school about which regretably I know very little – which I’m sure is my loss rather than theirs! However, I do know that the gardens and buildings of Stowe offer many amazing vistas just crying out to be photographed, drawn or painted.

Drawing this building in particular was to me a very satisfying exercise in perspective. I was rather pleased with the overall look of this image, although of course the real genius belongs not to my rendition but rather to whoever designed and constructed the building in the first place.
