About this painting.
When I stand back and look at this Edinburgh Castle painting, it takes me right back to the feeling of being in Scotland's capital. Edinburgh isn't just a city; it has an atmosphere, a weight of history that you feel, especially when looking up at that magnificent castle perched on Castle Rock. That's what I wanted to capture in this original Scottish artwork.
It wasn't just about painting the building; it was about conveying the mood. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow, the ancient stones against a dynamic sky – maybe a hint of that famous Edinburgh haar (mist) rolling in. I work in an impressionistic style, using bold colours and energetic brushstrokes to bring the scene to life, focusing on the feeling rather than photorealistic detail. You can see the texture in the paint, the way the colours blend and contrast to create that sense of atmosphere.
For me, painting Edinburgh Castle is about connecting with Scotland's heart. It's an iconic landmark, instantly recognisable, and holds so much history and national pride. This piece comes from my Edinburgh & Glasgow Art Gallery collection, where I explore the unique character of Scotland's vibrant cities. I hope this original painting from Scotland brings a piece of that historic, atmospheric capital into your own space.
Thanks for viewing and reading about my artwork, and please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, Kevin.

My Scottish Art Drink Coasters | Functional Art for Your Home
I believe that art should be part of our everyday lives, not just hung on a wall. That’s why I’m so pleased to offer my paintings on these beautiful and practical drink coasters. They're a perfect way to bring a splash of the Scottish landscape right to your coffee table, protecting your surfaces while adding a unique, artistic touch to your home. Each coaster is like a miniature piece of my art, designed to be used and enjoyed every single day.
To ensure both beauty and durability, each coaster features a vibrant, high-resolution reproduction of one of my original paintings, finished with a high-shine gloss that makes the colours pop and is easy to wipe clean. I’ve chosen a solid, 4mm thick wooden fibreboard base for a sturdy, premium feel, and finished it with a non-slip, protective cork backing to protect your furniture from scratches and watermarks.
At a generous 3.8 x 3.8 inches, they are the ideal size for any mug or glass. My signature and the artwork title are part of the design to mark its authenticity. These coasters make a wonderful housewarming gift or a unique souvenir from Scotland, and you can buy them individually to mix and match or to create your own custom set.
