Bristol Paintings by Peter Brown

Step into the vibrant streets of Bristol through the eyes and brush of ‘Pete the Street’ – Peter Brown. This 116-page large-format hardback book invites you to explore the city’s soul – from famous landmarks like the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Floating Harbour to everyday corners, coffee stands and green spaces. Painting entirely on location, Peter works directly from life, embracing the city’s shifting light, weather and tides. His brush captures not just buildings and streets, but the stories of the people passing through. The 70+ featured paintings aren’t just views – they’re lived moments, glimpses of a city in constant motion. As you turn the pages, you’ll wander with Peter through steep terraces, bustling high streets and quiet parks – all painted with affection for Bristol’s rich, colourful, lived-in charm. The book also includes the artist’s personal commentary, anecdotes, and insights, alongside an illustrated map marking the locations where each piece was created. Whether you know the city well or are discovering it for the first time, this collection offers a heartfelt and intimate portrait that goes far beyond the surface.
