An original watercolour painting of the drinking fountain topped with the statue of Greyfriars Bobby. It was commissioned by the English philanthropist Lady Burdett-Coutts who was charmed by the moving story. I’ve owned several German Shepherd dogs and know first hand the dedication and faithfulness of dogs towards their owners. I too was touched by the story of Greyfriars Bobby and felt compelled to pay my own tribute. Using a limited palette, I deliberately kept the background ethereal and almost dreamlike so that the attention is very much on Greyfriars Bobby. A painting which is very different from the rest of my paintings of Edinburgh. Price unframed.
