Good, atmospheric work of a distinctive building and grounds.

Thank you very much James!

Really zingy and vibrant painting. Great light on the castle. What are we going to do on a Sunday night now??!

The hugely popular recent ITV series ‘Downton Abbey’ was filmed at Highclere Castle in Hampshire. The series attracted 11 million viewers and I’m sure Highclere Castle will see a significant rise in visitor numbers in the future. I have never been – I was inspired from impressions gained from the series – but it has been added to my ever-expanding ‘to visit’ list. The scene is festive, but storm clouds and shadows are forming; It’s 1913 and the most devastating war the world had yet to experience looms on the horizon… Watercolour, ink, wax resist and a hint of oil pastel. 14.5” x 10.5”
