Lancaster Castle Greeting Card

Lancaster Castle Greeting Card

Lancaster Castle greeting card is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of blank art cards. This greeting card has been created from original artwork by Emily.

Emily’s artwork of Lancaster Castle presents the historic fortress towering proudly across the greeting card. The castle’s golden-brown stone walls rise with strength and character, their battlements standing out against a sky painted in soft tones of blue and lavender.

Around the castle, bursts of greenery frame the castle walls, with trees rendered in lively shades of green, flecked with dappled light and colour. In the foreground, a vibrant meadow of flowers stretches across the scene, created through energetic splashes of pink, purple, yellow, and white that bring a playful brightness to the composition.

The scattered dots of paint unify the sky, trees, flowers, and stone, turning Lancaster Castle into a radiant blend of history and nature.

Lancastor Castle

Lancaster Castle rises above the River Lune with a commanding presence, its solid sandstone walls and towers bearing witness to centuries of history. At its heart stands the imposing John O’Gaunt Gatehouse, a formidable entrance that reflects the castle’s role as both fortress and seat of power.

Over the years, it has served as a stronghold, a court of law, and even a prison, its stories woven with moments of intrigue and drama, including the infamous Pendle witch trials of the 17th century. The castle’s battlements, turrets, and arched gateways embody medieval strength and authority, while its elevated position gives it a dramatic silhouette over the city below. Today, it remains a striking symbol of endurance, heritage, and the enduring presence of the past in the heart of Lancaster.
