Bamburgh Castle painting, an original oil pastel painting of Bamburgh Castle surrounded by wild flowers, viewed from the dunes as you walk towards Bamburgh Beach from the Seahouses direction. By Yorkshire landscape artist Janine Jacques.
MEDIUM: Original oil pastel painting
STYLE: Northumbrian coastal and seascape art
LOCATION: Bamburgh, Northumberland
SUBJECT: Bamburgh Castle, beach, dunes and wild flowers
We love Northumberland and have visited quite a few times over the last seven years. Bamburgh is a lovely place to visit and we always make time for a trip to the beach too.
As you leave Bamburgh heading towards Seahouses, there is a car park on the left. If you walk over the dunes towards the beach and look back towards Bamburgh Castle, you can see this beautiful view. During the summer months, there are lots of lovely wild flowers amongst the long grasses on the dunes.
It’s a beautiful and special view that now holds so many happy memories of our time spent here.
The dunes around the castle flow,
Like wild flowers in the meadow.
So beautiful, elegant and strong,
Where once a battle was won.
The sea, the sand, the open air,
A place we go and deeply care.
We visit often, calm and free,
A place of joy beside the sea.
Adventure finds us on the beach,
Bodyboarding within our reach.
A family favourite, that’s for sure,
For memories that will endure.

Drawing on my Fine Art degree, I create a charcoal drawing of the landscape first. I love drawing with charcoal and concentrate on the composition before introducing colour.
When I am happy with the composition, I create an oil pastel painting of the same scene in colour. I love working with oil pastels and use them a bit like paint, pushing the pigment around with my fingers during the creation process to create a more painterly feel to the piece.
This original oil pastel painting would make a beautiful and unique gift for someone who loves Northumberland, Bamburgh Castle or the coast. It could make a special birthday, wedding, Christmas or anniversary gift, or simply be a lovely piece to buy for yourself.
