Warkworth Castle Summer keyring has been created from original art by Emily Ward a local North East artist. This art keyring has been hand pressed locally in Emily's art studio.
The castle ruins, depicted in shades of soft greys, purples and browns, stand on a gentle hill. The castle has a weathered and timeworn appearance, with large open windows and crumbling walls adding a sense of history and mystery to Emily’s art keyring.
The sky is a warming bright mix of teals and blues that reflect over the historic ruins. Pretty wildflowers cover the grassy hill in front of the castle adding a burst of colour to this painting.
