Description
Myra Ball (British, Contemporary) – Acrylic Painting of St Stephen’s Church, Edinburgh
Original acrylic painting by contemporary Edinburgh-based artist Myra Ball, depicting the view down Frederick Street towards St Stephen’s Church (now St Stephen’s Theatre), one of the city’s most recognisable and quietly impressive urban vistas. The composition draws the eye along the gently curving street, past bollards and streetlights, before settling on the church rising confidently in the foreground.
The scene is rendered in a vibrant, expressive palette, with playful purple accents enlivening the buildings and lending warmth and energy to the architectural forms. Richly handled, impressionistic foliage cushions the church and softens the urban setting, while the sky above is painted in loose, wave-like sweeps that add movement and lightness to the upper half of the composition. A striking band of blue cutting through the distant green subtly evokes the Firth of Forth, a reminder of Edinburgh’s unique geography and its close relationship with the surrounding landscape.
Ball’s approach balances clear topographical reference with painterly freedom, resulting in a work that feels both recognisable and joyfully expressive. The painting captures the character and atmosphere of the New Town without becoming rigid or overworked, making it particularly appealing as a contemporary cityscape.
The work is signed and dated 2019 and is presented in a high-quality glazed wooden frame, ready to hang. Its modest scale makes it well suited to a wide range of interiors, from modern city apartments to more traditional settings.
