Kelly, Jr. (intro.). hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780827170223.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a kaleidoscope of Philadelphia, old and new, in an evocative impressionistic style. Whether it is the quiet cool of a landmark fountain or neighborhood children playing under a colorful array of drying laundry, Howard Watson conveys the mood. His aim is to make his audience feel what he paints. He is sensitive to Philadelphias long history and to its changing present. In his own words: he \"simply reports things and places as they are today.\" Here are venerable Independence Hall and exciting Logan Circle, the Italian market and the busy shopping streets, the Art Museum and Boat House Row, on the Schuylkill River, the historic alleys and the Philadelphia tenements. The watercolors collected in this lovely book are evidence of the affection and regard which Howard Watson feels for his adopted city. The paintings retain their lively quality and their warm tones in these excellent reproductions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Barre Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965875449909,"sku":"ByrdShop_082717022X","price":88.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780827170223_56dc1a8c-a17a-4a34-8685-1c5dac3bda78.jpg?v=1781361118","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/philadelphia-watercolors-9780827170223","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
