ANTIQUE WATERCOLOUR PAINTING BY E TUCKER FRAMED AND SIGNED LAKE DISTRICT?

In the Grand Canyon and on the icy flanks of Mount Everest, deep in rainforests and deserts, underwater and at the mouths of live volcanoes - Tony Foster paints his expansive watercolors at the edges of the world. Presented here with personal accounts of his journeys, they are an exultant testament to the power of art and the richness and fragility of our planet. Explorer-artist Tony Foster has been trekking into and living in the world's wildernesses for the past twenty-five years in order to make his monumental paintings, often under extreme and demanding conditions. These monumental works, containing written narratives, symbolic souvenirs, clues, and observations, are a celebration of some of the planet's most extraordinary places and of time spent studying and experiencing them. His exhibitions have been shown in many major museums and galleries, including the Smithsonian Institutuion, Yale Center for British Art, Califonria Academy of Sciences, the Royal Watercolour Society, and the Royal Geographical Society.

The Lake District is one of Britain's most beautiful national parks, a rich blend of fell, dale, and fresh water, attracting millions of visitors every year. Colin Baxter has been photographing this dramatic and compelling landscape for many years, portraying the real atmosphere of the Lake District in a way that conveys a feeling of actually being there. Bow Fell looming above mist-clad Little Langdale; winter pinks and blues on a perfectly still Windermere at dusk; the mirror reflection of Langdale Pikes on Blea Tarn; a symphony of mountains in rich browns across Wast Water. "The Lake District" captures these very special places and moments, creating a collection of Colin Baxter's best photographs. Colin Baxter is widely acclaimed for his distinctive landscape photography. In the early 1980s his work revolutionized the postcard industry in Scotland and he started photographing the Lake District around that time. He has produced a wide range of publications, including calendars and more than twenty books. His work is broadening to encompass the landscapes of other countries including France and Iceland. He lives in the highlands of Scotland.

Giving equal due to Parisian culture and its architecture, this guidebook collects five affecting scenes of the City of Light. Loved by so many travelers around the world, the streets and structures included here celebrate a view of human history in the best of times—the Eiffel Tower in its elegant ascent against a blue sky; the staid French renaissance grandeur of the Louvre; the Arc de Trimphe in its never-ending glory; the twin Gothic spires of Notre Dame cathedral; and a small street café tucked away among the slopes of Montmartre. Adding life to each scene with a population of trees, birds, and people, this guide will challenge aspiring painters and remind those bound for France—or bound to return—of its splendid scenery. Six reusable tracing papers are included, removing the difficulties of freehand drawing and keeping the focus on the exercise of watercolor painting.

Unimprovably good JOHN LANCHESTER, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS There is hardly a stone in the Lake District that Frank Welsh leaves unturned. From the particular delights of the places with which the Lake Poets are associated - Dove Cottage, Grasmere, Buttermere, Cockermouth - to the remoter parts of the Eden Valley and Furness, over the fells, beside the lakes, through history, topography, archaeology, literature, geology and even bakery, Frank Welsh is the consummate guide and companion, writing with wit, intelligence and true skill. He covers both the less visited, and, in the author's view, unappreciated, parts of the Lake District, as well as those which no visitor will want to miss.
