Good morning Mr Drogo

A detail from this new painting of a man at a gate. Castle Drogo is an incredibly unlikely building – a 20th century castle overlooking the Teign Gorge in Devon with gardens, views, everything! (The title was too tempting as a steal from Gauguin!)

For sale. 30x30cm, varnished and ready to frame.

Acrylic on panel. For sale.

It is for sale.
