England
Ramshackle Castles
 |
| Detail |
Another in my series of
Ramshackle Houses exploring community and neighbourhood. The challenge to
develop the "Ramshackle look" to depict castles was a great way to
take this series further. Each castle was given their own character; using
additions and accessories like I do with the houses.
Living in England, I enjoy
visiting castle ruins. I love to imagine the lives of those who lived in
them. Quite a different sort of
neighbourhood, busy with all the people needed to run a castle. In Europe, castles seem to be located on
every hilltop...Or near enough. Sometimes the inhabitants were neighbourly. But
more often, those in the nearest castle were definitely enemies!
