Corfe Castle by Alan Morris

It attracts me Alan…I like the soft light on the castle and the loose way you’ve applied the paint.

One of my favourite castles and this is a lovely painting too.

A very lovely, quaint view of the castle with that broody sky emphasising the light over the castle Alan.

Very eye catching colours and image, Alan

I've visited Corfe Castle - it struck me with enormous sadness, just imagining what it must have looked like before the vile Cromwell had battered it to pieces. I didn't want to paint it, for that very reason. I like your painting, though, because it doesn't emphasize the destruction.

Thank you Marjorie, Heather, Carole, Thalia and Robert for your comments. Robert I do have some sympathy with your views on the Castle, I always think of it as a sad relic of history . I see so many paintings or Photographs trying to make it look ‘pretty’ or ‘fairy tale like’. I have tried not to do either, but only others can judge if I have been successful.

Love the striking contrast, palette and your brushstrokes Alan. I think you’ve captured it’s strength and place in history very well.

Thank you Fiona.🙂
