Inside the walls - the great tower seen from within Where its companion painting views Chepstow Castle from outside - from the cliffs and the River Wye - this watercolour steps through the gates and into the castle grounds themselves. From here, the great tower takes on a different character entirely. You are no longer looking up at it from a distance; you are standing within the walls that have enclosed this space since 1067, and the tower rises above you with an immediacy and scale that no exterior view can quite convey. It is a painting about the experience of being inside a great medieval fortress - the stone, the sky framed by ancient walls, and the particular atmosphere of a place where history is not behind glass but all around you. Painted in watercolour on archival cotton paper, it captures the texture and light of the castle grounds with the luminosity this medium does so beautifully.
