After making a Documentary film about JMW Turner with a German production company in 2019 I was approached again in 2020; this time by a French production company to make another film about Turner in the North for European Arte. This time we focussed on his Yorkshire work and we spent a good deal of time filming at Fountains Abbey and Richmond where Turner painted in 1797. ‘Richmond Castle’ is my response to this stunning and powerful location and forms part of the Turner Project.

I also made a number of sketches in pencil and watercolour for the film; working quickly en plein air trying to capture the sense of place with immediacy and vibrancy.

After and original oil painting by David Stead, this beautiful limited edition print is on deep profile, archival quality canvas. The print is limited to an edition of only 150 and comes with a certificate of authentication.
