A sunset painting of a castle which sits on Lindisfarne also known as Holy Island in Northumbria on the North East Coast of England.
I painted this scene of the castle along with a painting of Bamburgh Castle which sits on the same coast line.
There is a monastery on Lindisfarne which was founded by the Irish monk Saint Aidan circa 634, the castle was actually built much later c.1550.
With Holy Island being a very spiritual place I decided on this sunset depiction as opposed to the stormy, brooding setting of Bamburgh Castle.
There is also a causeway leading to Holy Island, so you have to beat the tide on the way out otherwise you are stuck there for the night.
