Emily Ward painting of Whitby Abbey

Emily's painting of these impressive Gothic ruins standing proud on a clifftop, overlooking the town of Whitby has an air of mystery about it. The striking purples and blues of the evening sky shimmer over the abbey. Pretty pink flowers grow wildly in front of the abbey giving a softer feel to these ancient ruins.

Emily also adds a personal touch to her Canvas Prints and Framed Ceramic Tiles. Emily hand finishes these products by adding extra paint to the print. The paint adds another layer of texture, depth and interest. It also makes these reproductions a little bit different too so no two images will be exactly the same.
