Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. Painting

This painting developed from a sketch that I made whilst at the scene during a lunch break from work. I was enchanted by this neoclassical masterpiece of architectural design. Whenever I visit I feel echos of ancient greece, as if I was entering the Parthenon or other such ancient places. I focussed on the play of light in this painting; I was fascinated with how the strong sunlight and shadows informed the shapes and seemed to dance and shimmer in the air before my eyes on that beautiful spring day. That particular lunch break was quite busy with passers by and I captured a few of these people in quick sketches to add to the scene; I was particularly taken with a couple epitomising the tourist look; positively bristling with cameras, maps and guidebooks. A young family whose little boy was insisting on playing on the raised platform in the middle ground amused me greatly with his antics. My attention was also draw by a man walking briskly by with great purpose, who reminded me I was going to be late back to the office!
