Wendy Helliwell's "Garden Gallery" presents a vibrant celebration of Edinburgh's urban culture, capturing the bustling atmosphere of the city's markets against the iconic skyline. This energetic mixed media piece (63 x 43 cm framed) depicts fashionably dressed figures navigating the colourful stalls of what appears to be the Waverley Market Gallery, with the distinctive spires of Edinburgh's architecture rising majestically in the background. Helliwell employs a rich palette dominated by azure blues, emerald greens and pops of red, creating a lively contrast between the human activity below and the architectural grandeur above. Her technique combines painterly elements with collage-like qualities, lending the scene a contemporary, dynamic feel that perfectly captures the vibrant pulse of Edinburgh's social landscape.

Urban Edinburgh: Connecting Past and Present
The artwork brilliantly juxtaposes modern city life against Edinburgh's historic skyline, creating a visual dialogue between contemporary culture and architectural heritage. When displayed on a wall, "Garden Gallery" serves as a captivating focal point that draws viewers into this slice of Scottish urban life, inviting them to discover new details with each viewing. The substantial yet manageable size allows the piece to command attention without overwhelming a space, making it equally suited to domestic settings or professional environments. Helliwell's distinctive interpretation of Edinburgh resonates with both locals who recognise the familiar scenes and visitors who have experienced the city's unique character, offering a fresh perspective on Scotland's capital that celebrates its vibrant, evolving identity.
