About this painting.
Ah, the Glenfinnan Viaduct. It's one of those views that just is Scotland, isn't it? Standing there, waiting for the Jacobite Steam Train – or the Hogwarts Express, as so many know it – to cross that magnificent structure, it’s pure theatre. When I decided to capture this scene in an original painting, I wanted to convey that sense of drama and the sheer scale of the landscape.
You see the viaduct curving through the glen, the rugged Scottish Highlands rising all around it. My focus was on the light and atmosphere – trying to capture that often-moody Highland sky and the way the light catches the steam from the train and the stonework of the bridge. It's more than just painting a landmark; it's about capturing a moment, that feeling of anticipation and the raw beauty of the location.
This original painting from Scotland uses texture and a dynamic palette to bring the scene to life. I wanted you to almost hear the train and feel the vastness of the glen. As a contemporary Scottish artist, painting iconic locations like the Glenfinnan Viaduct is always special, especially one so famous from the Harry Potter films.
Whether you're a fan of steam trains, Harry Potter, or simply the stunning Scottish landscape, I hope this original painting brings a piece of that iconic Highland magic into your home. It’s my interpretation of a truly unforgettable Scottish view.
Thanks for viewing and reading about my artwork, and please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, Kevin.

Own the Exclusive Artist's Proof | A Unique, Signed Fine Art Print
Before I approve any of my paintings for a new print run, I work closely with my printers to create a single, perfect test print. This is the first one made - the one I personally inspect in my Gourock studio for colour accuracy and quality against my original painting.
By tradition, this unique piece is called the Artist's Proof (A/P). It’s my final seal of approval. For each of my paintings, only one of these will ever exist, making it a truly special collector's item for those who want the most exclusive version of my work available.
