An armchair discovery tour of truly remarkable places, captured in SJ Axelby's inimitable watercolours. This follow-up volume to SJ Axelby's Interior Portraits transports the reader to bars, cafes, museums, shops, hotels, tearooms, restaurants, lobbies, vineyards, trains, casinos, members' clubs and more, around the world.

This is an insider's guide to the classic, the cool and the quirky, with locations around the world hand picked by SJ and painted in her trademark bright and detailed watercolours. All the featured places have something special, whether that's a stunning position, centuries of history, designer interiors or a touch of good old-fashioned glamour.

The text offers the reader intriguing details and insider knowledge about the history and design of these locations plus there's also the occasional cocktail recipe! Curated by an artist with an appreciation of the fine details, SJ Axelby's Painted Travels is a taste-filled tour to delight and inspire the reader.
