Castle

In Castle, Glenn Gordon captures the timeless allure of fantasy landscapes with a majestic fortress perched atop a rugged cliff, overlooking a tranquil river. Painted in 1990, this oil on canvas evokes the quiet power of ancient civilizations and the mystery of places just beyond reach. Delicate, twisting trees frame the foreground, guiding the eye toward the distant stronghold whose towers pierce a moody, cloud-streaked sky.

Gordon’s use of layered brushwork and atmospheric depth invites the viewer to wonder what stories lie within the castle walls—tales of kings, sorcerers, forgotten realms, or dreams long past. With its rich palette and romantic composition, Castle is a work of immersive imagination—perfect for collectors drawn to medieval fantasy, mythic storytelling, or the quiet grandeur of secluded places.
