Eilean Donan Castle in Loch Duich

by D. Bruce Bennett

Rainy Night at Eilean Donan Castle

Sheets of rain pour down over Loch Duich, Eilean Donan, and the mainland hills beyond, showing it all much as it might have appeared on rainy nights of old (minus the bridge, of course). That would have been when Eilean Donan Castle really was a medieval castle and not the Victorian interpretation we see today.

(Click for larger view of Rainy Night at Eilean Donan Castle.)

Positioned over a Pictish fort, this romantic castle boasts a long history of Clan MacKenzie and Clan MacRae involvement. (The MacKenzies officially held Eilean Donan for many years, but the MacRae clan members served as its constables.) Do you have one of these surnames in your family tree? Don't you think you need this dramatic night scene of your clan castle?

Though you can't quite make it out from this image, the crenellated rooftops of the castle are in clear view. Take this picture of Scotland to a good framer and watch the magic that happens when you display this Scottish Art - heavy on the blues and grays - in your living room . . . or dining room . . . or hall.

Please note that Bruce accomplishes this rainy atmosphere adding just the right amount of salt at just the right time to his acrylic paint. If this painting of Eilean Donan sells before you get to it and you request a similar one, the operative word is "similar," since this technique he enjoys using so much is also very unpredictable.

(Check our black-and-white print of Eilean Donan, too. Its $8 half-off price makes it a downright steal.)
