Cliftonwood Coloured Houses, Bristol postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original art by Emily.
Emily’s art postcard captures the lively charm of Bristol’s iconic coloured houses, nestled on a hillside above the waterfront. The upper row of buildings is painted in a joyful mix of bold colours, yellows, blues, pinks, and greens, that pop brightly against the backdrop of lush, green trees. The lower houses are rendered in softer, warmer tones, creating a gentle contrast with the vivid homes above.
The river in the foreground reflects the surrounding colours and adds a calming feel to the art gift. Dotted splashes of paint throughout and a glowing sky in shades of lavender, peach, and gold highlight the vibrant personality of Bristol

Cliftonwood Coloured Houses, Bristol
The brightly coloured houses of Bristol
are a distinctive and much-loved feature of the city’s landscape, adding a splash of vibrancy to areas like Cliftonwood, Totterdown, and Hotwells.
These cheerful terraced homes, painted in an array of bold hues, ranging from soft pastels to vivid tones, bring life and personality to the hillsides and harbourfront.
Originally intended to lift the look of the urban environment, the painted facades have since become a celebrated symbol of Bristol’s creative energy and unique character. With their striking appearance set against the city’s historic buildings and steep streets, these houses perfectly capture the artistic, lively, and welcoming spirit that defines Bristol.
