Pitfichie Orange

Pitfichie Castle, Aberdeenshire

This work is driven by a strong orange core that radiates warmth through the surrounding layers. The castle appears briefly and decisively, its pale form cutting through the intensity of colour before dissolving back into pattern and mark.

Decorative fragments, numerical references, and over-painted textures create a surface that feels both playful and controlled. The composition resists a single focal point, encouraging the eye to move laterally across colour fields. The result is a painting that treats place as an emotional register rather than a literal site.
