Encompassing Britain: Painting at the Points of the Compass

Once again Collyer has captured for us the essence of Britain’s coastlands. Given the task of visiting the 32 points of the compass from the center of the country he has meticulously planned and executed a series of journeys that have led to a brilliant series of miniature watercolor paintings, superbly reproduced in this book. Accompanying each one is a delightful and quirky text telling of his journey, the places and some of the people he met.
