Alnwick Castle Summer postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of North East art postcards. This postcard has been created from an original painting by Emily.
Alnwick Castle stands proudly on the luscious greens of the gardens on Emily’s art postcard. The trees are a mix of calming blues, purples and yellows which invite you towards the historic castle.
Soft purple shades from the colourful reeds cast a lovely hue over the castle outline that reflects across the waters surface.
