Here’s a special memory for me and hopefully a wonderful new memory for another happy couple. This new illustration of Highcliffe Castle in Dorset was commissioned as a Wedding Day gift. It happens to be where Nicky and I were married (Waaay back in 2012!) so it’s a building I know pretty well. And it was a subject matter I was more than happy to return to for another project. Here are some photos of the new Highcliffe Castle commission all framed up…

There were two main requests for this one. One of which was include a name plate within the mount to officially mark the date of the occasion. The second was the addition of their lovely dog Fynn. Hopefully sat not too prominently in the foreground. Here’s a quick video tour of the finished line detail and paint work.

Thank you to Kim for commissioning this piece. I hope the whole family had a wonderful sunny and happiest of days down at the coast!
