Love the mistiness and mystery this painting evokes. The castle looks so romantic and olde worldly David. A stunning piece of work.

Great painting, David - it's very atmospheric now that you've given it the bath treatment!

20" x 27" watercolour on Saunder rough. I painted this quite a few years ago and was not happy with the finished image, it lacked atmosphere that i felt the scene needed. I had to take drastic action and give it `The Order of Bath`!!!! At first i put the whole painting in a bath of cold water and tried sponging. This did not work so i filled the bath with warm water, gradually heating it until the paint dissolved. I let it dry naturally.
