KNOCKDERRY CASTLE - Limited Edition Prints

There are varying, equal top quality, canvas giclee print types available to choose from which will be limited to 100 in total for all print types.

The only difference in the print types is how the printed canvas is mounted.

Initially, the edition total will be divided between the various print types available. As each print type sells out, or the quantity available gets low, the total remaining quantities available may be reallocated to any or all of the varying print types, not to exceed 100 in total, until the edition is completely sold out.

A “certificate of authenticity”, signed by the artist, will be included with each print sold.

I am a friend of the owners and was inspired to paint the Castle after following their blog and posts after purchase. The thoughts of owning a castle, let alone restoring it, became a pass time for me and, after consulting the owner, I decided to paint it.

This painting required many hours of detailed work. I didn’t keep track of the time I spent on this rendition, but after considering the time accounting for my Payson, UT Temple Painting, I would estimate this piece took at least 75 hours total to complete.

This is my most detailed painting yet requiring the use of a ruler throughout the painting process for every line painted.

I imagined myself actually being there while painting this magical structure and landscape and I feel a great sense of accomplishment at it’s completion.

The reward was reading the very complementary comments of the owner upon his seeing the completed product.

Knockderry Castle is located in Cove, Argyll, Scotland and was purchased in 2022 by my friends, David and Chelom Leavitt, whom are restoring the castle starting from the roof down.

Knockderry Castle was built in 5 phases, the first of which was completed in 1855, and sits above “Loch Long”, an inland ocean waterway.

Royal Navy aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines are seen occasionally in Loch Long.

Roe Deer often roam the property and feast on the Rhododendrum bushes.

The former owner lost the castle to foreclosure, as a result of a 22 year long dispute over an approximate $270 (US Currency value) business debt she insisted she had paid.

It has a very interesting history and restoration process which you can learn more about on Instagram or on the Leavitt’s blog: “whatthehelldidwedo.com".
