Iain Stewart

Iain Stewart is another architectural illustrator who has moved into fine art in the past few years and is getting well-deserved recognition for his work. There is a clarity and crispness about his paintings that derives from his architectural work, but the emotional quality of the paintings raises them to a new level.

  4. This painting is a mirror image and it is not the Cod and Lobster which is further along the harbour wall and not visible from this point

    1. Well, you took me by surprise, commenting on a blog post that's 10 years old. Iain's choices fall under the concept of artistic license -- he was not acting as a journalist here, but as an artist.
