About this painting.
When I approached this painting of Castle Stalker, perched as it is on its little island in Loch Laich at dusk, I wanted to capture that moment of stillness when the day’s light slips away and the castle becomes a silhouette against the horizon. The title “Twilight” refers not just to the hour of the day, but to the in-between state: light and dark, land and water, solid form and soft reflection.
Composition & Mood
I placed the castle slightly off-centre, allowing the sweeping sky and its reflected tones in the water to play a big role. The water surface is calm but alive with subtle movement and reflection, creating a mirrored echo of the sky’s colours. I used faint layers of pastel-washed clouds fading into deeper blues and purples, with a warmer glow near the horizon, to suggest the sun has just dipped beneath the hills. The castle’s form is dark and grounded, its edges softened to merge subtly with its setting — I wanted it to feel ancient yet part of the landscape, not entirely separate.
Colour & Technique
For the twilight palette I mixed cool ultramarines and purples for the lakes and distant hills, contrasted with warming touches of peach and rose in the sky where the last light lingers. I applied the paint in thin glazes in the sky and hills to allow nuance and depth; the foreground water has slightly richer impasto to give texture and a hint of turbulence. The castle itself is painted in muted greys and deep charcoals, with just a touch of green moss-tone on its base to anchor it in the land.
Intention & Feeling
My aim was to evoke a sense of calm grandeur. By the time you reach this piece, you should feel as though you’ve arrived at a moment of reverence — the castle stands quietly, the day has ended, and the landscape holds its breath. It’s less about heroic action than about reflection, stillness and the passage of light. For me, this is Scotland’s quiet majesty — a place where history, water, sky and stone meet in an eternal moment.
Thanks for viewing and reading about my artwork, and please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, Kevin.

My Gallery-Quality Canvas Prints | Ready-to-Hang Wall Art
I absolutely love the way my paintings look on canvas. There's a depth and tactile texture that gives the artwork a contemporary, gallery-like feel, almost as if you're looking at the original piece. That's why I’m so excited to offer my art on these beautiful, hand-stretched canvases.
Each one is a finished piece of wall art, designed to be a centrepiece in your home the moment it arrives. I’ve worked with a specialist team to ensure every detail meets my high standards, from the vibrant printing to the sturdy, hand-finished frame.
My Commitment to Quality in Every Canvas:
Vibrant, Textured Giclée Canvas: I use the giclée printing method to reproduce my artwork directly onto a finely textured, artist-grade cotton canvas. This process is renowned for its outstanding clarity and detail, while the canvas itself provides a beautiful, tactile finish that truly brings the colours and brushstrokes to life.
Archival Quality & 100+ Year Colour Guarantee: To ensure your art lasts a lifetime, I use fade-resistant, archival-quality inks. I’m so confident in their longevity that I guarantee the colours on your canvas will remain deep, rich, and vibrant for over a century.
Professional Gallery Stretcher Bars: The canvas is meticulously hand-stretched over a sturdy, professional artist's stretcher frame. I insist on using bars milled from the finest quality, kiln-dried knotless pine. This prevents the frame from ever warping or bowing, ensuring your artwork remains perfectly taut.
Expertly Hand-Finished & Ready to Hang: Each canvas is a complete, finished piece of art. It arrives with pre-installed hanging hardware, ready to be displayed on your wall immediately. The image is "gallery-wrapped," continuing around the edges so it looks stunning from all angles.

My Signature Framed Canvas | The Modern Floating Frame
For me, this is the ultimate way to display my art on canvas. The floater frame is my personal recommendation for anyone wanting to create a true statement piece for their home. It combines the rich, textured presence of a gallery-wrapped canvas with the refined elegance of a solid wood frame, creating a stunning, three-dimensional effect that I absolutely love.
The canvas appears to "float" within the outer frame, a sophisticated presentation style used by high-end art galleries around the world. It’s a beautifully finished, contemporary piece of wall art, designed to become the centrepiece of any room the moment it's hung.
Why I Believe This is the Ultimate Finish:
The Modern Floating Frame: I've chosen a minimalist, solid wood frame that sits just off the edge of the canvas. This creates a subtle shadow and the beautiful illusion that the artwork is suspended or floating. At a substantial 38mm deep, this frame adds a touch of gallery-level sophistication and provides a clean, polished edge to the artwork.
Premium Gallery-Wrapped Canvas: The artwork inside is my signature giclée canvas, printed on artist-grade cotton to capture the stunning clarity and detail of my original painting. The image continues around the sides of the canvas, which you can see in the "float" space, adding depth and interest.
100+ Year Colour Guarantee: Just like all my fine art prints, this framed canvas is created using archival, fade-resistant inks. I’m proud to guarantee that the colours will remain rich, deep, and true for over a century.
Expertly Hand-Finished & Ready to Hang: The canvas is professionally mounted within the floater frame by a specialist team here in the UK. The entire piece arrives as a single, solid unit. It is a complete, finished work of art, ready for you to display.
