Commissions

I’ve often been commissioned to do paintings of castles and I have to say, it’s always a delight.

One such project came in 2003 when I was commissioned to do around a dozen large watercolours of North East Castles.This was for a major North East Company to hang in their boardrooms.

Dunstanburgh Castle was one of the chosen castles. I decided to paint it on a summer evening just as the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon with the waves pounding down on the rocks.

Belsay Castle

With sweeping views over gentle rolling countryside, Belsay Village is set within the evocative landscape of Northumberland’s ‘border country’.

Belsay that visitors see comprises three distinct but related elements. A medieval castle that was enlarged in the early 17th century. A Greek Revival mansion that superseded it as a family residence at the beginning of the 19th century. And an outstanding garden linking the two buildings. Much of this garden was created within the quarries that supplied the stone for the new house.

The stone from which Belsay Castle and Hall in Northumberland are made from turns a delightfully warm honey colour in the summer evening sunlight.

Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens are well worth a visit anytime in the year. Visit this stunning castle and read the full history which is incredibly interesting.
