Carn Liath Broch

20 x 24″ (51 × 61 × 4 cm)
Original – mixed media (acrylic and varnished charcoal) on a box frame canvas, with the painting continued onto all sides.

Carn Liath Broch sits beside the A9 highway between Golspie and Brora, North of my home in Tain, Scotland. Although dating from the Iron Age the walls here still stand to around 12m high in places. It’s an impressive ruin, which invites you in through a carefully-made doorway in it’s deep walls.

On the day I specifically visited to make sketches and take photo’s as part of my preparation for the Ruin exhibition, the sun was shining and the Scottish landscape glowing. I’ve kept this bright, light feeling in my final painting, as I enjoy the contrast of crumbling ruins, decay and aging and the joyful colours.

On a carefully finished, deep box frame canvas, with the painting continued onto all sides. Signed and ready to hang. Dispatched with certificate of authenticity.

Carn Liath Broch is one of over 500 brochs in Scotland. The name is Scottish Gaelic for Grey Cairn. This type of fortification is found only in Scotland and many great examples can be found across the Scottish landscape.
