About This Image

There’s just something about old castles and stormy skies that speak to me in black and white art prints. I think the 17th century baroque architecture of Holyrood Palace, pictured here, looks even more mysterious and brooding with this graphic black and white treatment. I would believe this was a vintage Gothic print if I wasn’t the one who stood there and photographed the historic palace in this photo.

It wasn’t until my second visit to Edinburgh that I decided I should take a closer look at Holyrood Palace House. In some ways I wish I had gone sooner as it was well worth the visit, but then I might not have gone back with my camera the next time. Truth be told, I long for the chance to roam Edinburgh again, including the grounds of Holyrood.

The Palace of Holyroodhouse, more commonly known as Holyrood Palace, is the official home of the British monarch in Scotland. From what I’ve read, however, outside of an official visit in the summer, the Royal family spends far and away more time at Balmoral than at the historic palace in Edinburgh.

Balmoral is their country estate, so I guess it makes some sense they’d go there to get away from it all. For my two cents, though, Holyrood Palace in the heart of Edinburgh is a picture perfect palace in my book. I’d happily live there, but given that’s not possible, I’ll content myself with my prints of it! It’s a gorgeous old piece of baroque architecture and historic to boot.

Have you also stood before Holyrood Palace yourself or is it simply love of the history of Scotland that drew you here?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
