Lee Castle, Scotland – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Lee Castle:
Lee Castle, also known as “The Lee”, is a large ornamental palace located in South Lanarkshire in Scotland. The building is the ancestral home of the Lockhart family, which owned it until the mid-20th century when it was sold. The grounds the castle sits on covered many acres of land, most of which was broken up and sold in lots. Although it appears to be a medieval style castle, with functional turrets and battlements, it is an ornamental building constructed in the early 19th century, long after castles were no longer needed in the area. The architect was James Gillespie Graham (1776-1855) and designed by Thomas White the Younger (1764-1836)

Artist’s notes:
The drawing of Lee Castle was completed in 2008, and was commissioned by a private client. This is the last drawing of architecture I have completed to date. This was a challenging image to create, because of the level of detail involved and the sheer size of the drawing (when it was finished, the drawing was several feet across.) As part of the agreement with the client, I retained the copyright to the image and was able to post it here. Unfortunately, when creating the page I made a large mistake and listed the castle as being in England, not Scotland. Some months later, I received a terse email from someone pointing out my error and how Robert the Bruce would be rolling over in his grave should this castle be in England. I corrected the error immediately.

Lake Harriet Band Shelter – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Lake Harriet Band Shelter:
The current incarnation of the Lake Harriet Bandshell was constructed in 1986. It stands on the site of previous buildings, some of which were destroyed by fire. The building was designed by the local architectural firm of Bentz Thompson Rietow. The architect was Milo Thompson. The building itself has a 30 foot by 25 foot glass in the back of the building that faces out towards the lake, so as you look into from the front, you can see the lake and any activity on it. The bandshell has a seating capacity of about 900. The bandshell underwent a major refurbishing in 2004. The Park Board itself did not have the funds available, so local businessman Mark McGowan organized groups of volunteers, funded by private donations, to repaint the Bandshell, refectory and sailing pavilion. Working in tandem with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, the exterior of the building was painted light brown (it had been blue) and some upgrades to the sound system were done, along with the large glass plate being replaced with a thicker, stronger glass. During the summer months concerts are held in the building with a wide variety of music being represented. The building is now also available to rent to hold wedding ceremonies.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

Minneapolis City Hall, Minnesota – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Minneapolis City Hall:
The Minneapolis City Hall - also called the Minneapolis Courthouse - was designed in 1888 by the architectural firm of Long & Keys. Construction on the building went on until 1909 and the final cost was in the area of $3.5 million dollars, considerably more expensive than the original $1.5 million that was budgeted for the project. It replaced an earlier building that served as the city hall, but that was too small to fit the ever expanding city's needs. The design is based on the Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The building's style is known as "Richardsonian Romanesque" At the time, it was the tallest building in the city, and remained so until 1929 when the Foshay Tower was built. The exterior of the building is very rough looking, and the blocks used are made from Ortonville Granite and weigh in the area of 20 tons.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
