Period Living

Art in isolation

ith the majority of us confined to the house, the recent lockdown period has seen a rise in those community, we launched our very own House Portrait Challenge in which we invited our social media followers to share their architectural masterpieces (#PLhouseportrait), with the chance of having their artwork published in the magazine. Across the UK and beyond, followers have been dusting off their paint sets, sharpening their pencils, and even digging out their sewing kits to capture a building special to them. Thank you for an overwhelming response; we thoroughly enjoyed looking through the huge number of beautiful entries and hearing the stories behind them. With so much talent out there it begged the question: why just publish one? Consequently we have shortlisted not one but several to share with you. We hope they inspire you to channel your inner artist.
