About the Painting: “Eilean Donan”
Eilean Donan is a famous Scottish castle located in the North West Highlands of Scotland and close to the Isle of Skye. Often, it is incorrectly referred as the Kyle of Lochalsh and which is a few miles further away. This painting was completed in one sitting. No brushes were used in this impasto painting; only one painting knife was used. A much larger impasto work and entitled “Eilean Donan Castle” can be seen below “Pembroke Castle Tower”.

About the Painting: “Pembroke Castle Tower”
Pembroke castle is a fine example of how well the Welsh preserve their historic monuments. This particular castle was a formidable fortress and set in an excellent defensive position. Much of it is still intact today. If you would like to see how an interior part of this castle looks today, then you need to view the “Pembroke Castle Doorway” painting under the Steps and Doorways page. I do have sketches of aerial perspectives of Pembroke Castle following a flight over the castle a year or so ago. My intention is to paint a couple more medieval castle paintings of Pembroke Castle as soon as I can. Also I hold some smaller paintings of castles in stock so please contact me if you are looking for something in particular.
About this Painting: “Eilean Donan Castle”
The Eilean Donan Castle is a famous Scottish fortress situated in the Western Highlands quite close to the Isle of Skye. It is often misspelt as the Eileen Donan and sometimes incorrectly referred as the “Kyle of Localsh”; which is a few miles further away. To achieve my painting I used an Ultra Heavy Body Acrylic paint together with a painting knife. No brushes were used at all. Also I used the colour straight from the tube and with no pre-mixing. It took several weeks to finish as many layers were applied to achieve a desired impasto effect. A smaller version of the Eileen Donan is shown above.
