Rocks at Dunstanborough Print 12 x 8

Rocks at Dunstanborough captures the raw power and timeless drama of Northumberland’s coastline, where land, sea, and history collide. Painted largely with a palette knife, this work embraces texture and movement, allowing the paint itself to echo the rugged character of the shore.

Jagged rocks dominate the foreground, built up with bold, confident strokes that give the surface a sculptural quality. Whites and cool blues crash against deep browns and slate greys, evoking waves breaking relentlessly over ancient stone. The energy of the sea feels immediate and physical, as though the tide is surging just beyond the frame.

In the distance, the silhouette of Dunstanburgh Castle rises on the horizon, softened by mist and atmosphere. Its presence anchors the composition, a quiet reminder of endurance and history set against the ever-changing force of the ocean. Warm, muted tones in the sky contrast gently with the cool sea below, lending balance and depth to the scene.

Expressive and elemental, Rocks at Dunstanborough is a celebration of texture, light, and coastal power. This mounted print makes a striking statement piece, ideal for those drawn to dramatic seascapes, historic landscapes, and the wild beauty of Northumberland’s shores.
