Detailed description
Picture "Rahden castle ruin" (2022)
I often walk around the castle ruins and during one of these walks I was fascinated by the color of the foliage and the play of light and shadow. Originally, the castle formed a considerable complex of buildings surrounded by a mighty moat. The main building was the castle, which still bears the coat of arms of the Bussche family (heavily weathered) on the back. They were the pledge holders of the castle from 1391 to 1395. The ruin therefore has an age of over 600 years.
About Gary Westall
Born in London in 1960 and resident in Germany since 1982.
I am self-taught and constantly expanding my education and knowledge by regularly attending workshops and trainings in Germany as well as in England.
Painting has fundamentally changed my life. There is not a day without me being engaged in some form of painting. For me painting is the breath to life.
I would like to animate with my art, people to look more closely.
A tree is not only brown and green! I believe that if the view is consciously directed to the objects of nature, you get such a reverence for your beauty and all your diversity that you do not dare to destroy it by war, abuse and overexploitation, but protect and respect it.
