Castle Above the Clouds

“I particularly love this view because it really shows the dramatic location of the Castle perched atop that knoll, which is not as apparent today with the trees grown up.  This is based on a photograph in the 1925 sales brochure taken from the Mount Roberts trail.  The weather is inspired by a pre-dawn visit to catch the sunrise.  As I made my way from Wolfeboro, it looked like the whole Ossipee Range was socked in, but when I arrived up at the Castle, the sky above was clear and the clouds were mostly beneath me.  It was magical to watch as the sun began to illuminate the mists moving in the valleys below.  The foreground was borrowed, rearranged and adapted from several locations, including my head!  And it changed as the painting progressed to strengthen the composition.  I’m sure most of you can orient yourselves, but Gunstock and Belknap are behind the tree trunks, and the familiar silhouette of Rattlesnake Island can be seen to the left.”
