Winnipeg architect and artist Robert J. Sweeney's love affair with Winnipeg's urban landscape is captured in this remarkable collection of coloured sketches. Each portrait brings to life in brilliant colour, the many faces of Manitoba's "River City." With over forty full colour illustrations of Winnipeg's most loved locations, Portraits of Winnipeg captures the true spirit of the city. From Winnipeg's iconic Portage and Main intersection, to the Forks, to Kildonan Parks' "Witches Hut" Sweeney's keen eye renders familiar sights of Winnipeg and its surrounding suburban areas. The level of detail and precision in each sketch is truly extraordinary. Portraits of Winnipeg: The River City in Pen and Ink is a delightful book for any lover of architecture and urban landscapes.
