Hermensteux Castle is of course a castle, but what does that represent here? Well for me it is a victory over the elements and a celebration of architectural beauty. What I mean by this will be best explained by the back story for this piece. I decided to paint in situ, right there in front of this magnificent structure. I planned my trip when I had a gap in my schedule, the only unpredictable variable was the weather. It rained torrentially and was freezing cold. I painted and painted under a golfing umbrella, only pausing to warm my hand on a thermos flask! I felt an incredible intensity to capture this beautiful building almost like I was at war with it's occupants. Nothing, not time or the elements would stop me conquering my subject matter and I am very personally pleased with the final result which has been much admired by all who have seen it's vibrant mixed media in the flesh.
