This is another HDR image of the inside of Peterborough cathedral. Peterborough cathedral has seen two Tudor queens buried here, this is Katharine of Aragon’s tomb. The other, Mary Queen of Scots was buried on the opposite side of the altar, though her grave is now empty (she was re-buried in Westminster in 1612)

4×6 inches, watercolour, gouache and gold ink, 2008. A portrait of Henry VIII in his late twenties. He was described as “the most handsome potentate I have ever set eyes upon” by a Venetian ambassador and was tall, well built and athletic. He tends to be remembered as the large obese ogre he became later in life.

Here is another of my Creative Paintings, this time of The Three Fishes Public House, in Shrewsbury. This magnificent Tudor Inn was built in 1460, and, until recently, was the only local Inn to ban smoking. Now, the law prevents smoking in any public building. Interestingly, the Inn is situated in Fish Street, a reminder of the ancient method of naming streets by what the merchants sold in that street. In Shrewsbury, we also have a Milk Street and a Butchers Row.

Acrylic on Canvas, 540mm x 610mm (18” x 24”). Based on Anne Boleyn (played by Natalie Portman). Here is the reference image: And an original painting of Anne Boleyn. It took quite a few hours to paint. I converted the garage into a painting ‘studio’-but it was freezing inside-this is Scotland after all. Helped keep the acrylics fresh though. Although I ‘helped’ some students before, this is my ‘third’ painting—that is done by myself. Hopefully I am getting better. It has been four months since I last touched a paintbrush, so took a while getting back into it. Some of the stages in case anyone is interested:

Torksey Castle is a wonderful old Tudor ruin. Dating from the 16th century it was the manor house of the Jermyn family. Little is now left except the grand facade, with it’s lofty towers, and aspect over the River Trent. There are very few alternate angles that look quite as good, so it was a case of taking the ‘classic’ view and trying to do it better! Luckily for me, the very heavy frost and low raking sunrise enhanced an already magical location.

/ This image was nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward group. / The redbubble member who nominated it was Andreisky and this is why he nominated me & this image - ”because he’s doing some sort of magic which I can’t. And he also writes so many interesting things…” According to tradition the abbey was first founded in 616 on the present site, then known as Thorn Ey (Thorn Island); based on a late ‘tradition’ that a fisherman called ‘Aldrich’ on the River Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site. This seems to be quoted to justify the presents of salmon from the Thames fishermen that the Abbey received in later years. The proven origins are that in the 960s or early 970s, Saint Dunstan, assisted by King Edgar, planted a community of Benedictine monks here. A stone Abbey was built around 1045–1050 by King Edward the Confessor as part of his palace there: it was consecrated on December 28, 1065, only a week before the Confessor’s death and subsequent funeral and burial. It was the site of the last coronation prior to the Norman Invasion, that of his successor King Harold. It was later rebuilt by Henry III from 1245, who had selected the site for his burial. The Abbey became the coronation site of Norman kings, but none were buried there until Henry III, intensely devoted to the cult of the Confessor, rebuilt the Abbey in Anglo-French Gothic style as a shrine to honour St Edward the Confessor and as a suitably regal setting for Henry’s own tomb, under the highest Gothic nave in England. The Confessor’s shrine subsequently played a great part in his canonisation. The work continued between 1245-1517 and was largely finished by the architect Henry Yevele in the reign of King Richard II. Henry VII added a Perpendicular style chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1503 (known as the Henry VII Chapel). Much of the stone came from Caen, in France (Caen stone), the Isle of Portland (Portland stone) and the Loire Valley region of France (tuffeau limestone). In 1535, the Abbey’s annual income of £2400-2800 during the assessment attendant on the Dissolution of the Monasteries rendered it second in wealth only to Glastonbury Abbey. Henry VIII had assumed direct royal control in 1539 and granted the Abbey cathedral status by charter in 1540, simultaneously issuing letters patent establishing the Diocese of Westminster. By granting the Abbey cathedral status Henry VIII gained an excuse to spare it from the destruction or dissolution which he inflicted on most English abbeys during this period. Westminster was a cathedral only until 1550. The expression “robbing Peter to pay Paul” may arise from this period when money meant for the Abbey, which was dedicated to St Peter, was diverted to the treasury of St Paul’s Cathedral. The Abbey was restored to the Benedictines under the Catholic Queen Mary, but they were again ejected under Queen Elizabeth I in 1559. In 1579, Elizabeth re-established Westminster as a “Royal Peculiar”—a church responsible directly to the sovereign, rather than to a diocesan bishop—and made it the Collegiate Church of St Peter, (that is a church with an attached chapter of canons, headed by a dean). The last Abbot was made the first Dean. It suffered damage during the turbulent 1640s, when it was attacked by Puritan iconoclasts, but was again protected by its close ties to the state during the Commonwealth period. Oliver Cromwell was given an elaborate funeral there in 1658, only to be disinterred in January 1661 and posthumously hanged from a nearby gibbet. The abbey’s two western towers were built between 1722 and 1745 by Nicholas Hawksmoor, constructed from Portland stone to an early example of a Gothic Revival design. Further rebuilding and restoration occurred in the 19th century under Sir George Gilbert Scott. A narthex for the west front was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 20th century but was not executed. Until the 19th century, Westminster was the third seat of learning in England, after Oxford and Cambridge. It was here that the first third of the King James Bible Old Testament and the last half of the New Testament were translated. The New English Bible was also put together here in the 20th century. Westminster suffered minor damage during the Blitz on November 15, 1940.

Inside Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow, West Lothian, looking towards the north-west. On 9 September 1513, the peace with England having foundered, James IV faced the Earl of Surrey’s army on Flodden Field, where he fell along with many of the Scottish nobility. His Queen, Margaret Tudor (daughter of English King Henry VII) is reputed to have waited vainly for his return from the battle in the draughty look-out post above the north-west turnpike stair, known today as “Queen Margaret’s Bower”, the highest point in the Palace. Also in the shot at the centre of the Palace is the elaborately carved King’s Fountain, thought to be the oldest surviving fountain in Britain. The fountain was commissioned by James V of Scotland in 1537, reputedly to welcome his new French queen, and the first documentary evidence of its existence is a bill for repairs dating back to 1542. The fountain was once considered to be among the glories of the Scottish court. It was traditionally used as a centrepiece during special occasions, such as Charles I’s visit in 1633, when the water would be fired. Despite being vandalised in the late 1630s legend has it that wine flowed instead of water when Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at Linlithgow Palace in 1745. By that time, however, the fountain had already been badly neglected and a year later it was damaged during the fire that left the palace a roofless ruin. An ambitious project to rectify centuries of damage and decay began with the removal of concrete and iron repairs carried out in the 1930s. The next job was to painstakingly survey, record and photograph each of the 158 carved or moulded stones that made up the original fountain. As much of the material was retained and reinstated as possible, but where necessary new stones were carved by Historic Scotland stonemasons and craftsmen at Cliveden Conservation Workshop in Bath. Finally, the five-metre high fountain was reassembled with replacement three-tiered basins around the central structure which is topped off with a half-tonne crown. Now back in full working order, the flow of water will continue to be limited to help prevent future erosion. Occupying a prominent position beside Linlithgow Loch, Linlithgow Palace is one of Scotland’s best known historic buildings. The birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, Linlithgow Palace was a favourite residence of the Stewart kings before the Union of the Crowns. Although designated as a Royal Palace, this imposing fortification qualifies as a defensive Castle and was built to be just that. The first royal residence was established on this site in the 12th century; the present palace was started for King James I in 1425. James V was born here in 1512, and, by the time of the birth of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1542, the building had taken its present form. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.
