Scottish Art - Paintings of Scotland:
Highland Castle

by D. Bruce Bennett

Sunrise Over Highland Citadel

A hazy morning sun's softened glow surrounds a solitary Highland castle in this Scottish Art, executed with acrylics in oil-painting style.

Your eye is led straight to the Highland castle on its rocky perch by stone walls that edge a long-abandoned road leading up to the its tower. Just a touch of purple in what's left of ancient stone walls tells us the ubiquitous Scottish thistle is in bloom. Wild grasses tell you which way the wind's blowing in this very ethereal picture of Scotland.

No, in case you're wondering, the Highland castle in this piece of Scottish Art doesn't really exist, except in Bruce's imagination - and now on this canvas. (See this same Highland castle – a bit more "ruined.") Because of its warm color palette, this original artwork will look best in a room with a warm maize and almost-any-shade-of-green decorating scheme.

Once this picture of Scotland is framed in just the right frame for your décor, it'll transport you to the windy hills you've visited on your Scottish holiday - the ones with the lonely, abandoned Highland castle ruins at their tops - or the ones you plan to visit one day. And it will encourage you to pause and ponder how life would have been lived in the isolated Highland castles of old Scotland.
