“A Time of Castles” (Commission)
Acrylic on Canvas – August 2017

This was a commission piece based off of an already existent painting that had been damaged in a roof leak. With some serious alterations (and turning what was a picturesque idealistic castle to a crumbly one with weeds growing around, it was a lot of fun to make. I actually have always been obsessed with castles ever since I started looking at my parents photo albums from the beginning of their marriage (they lived in Germany when my father was in the military and went to see a lot of them.) Richard’s and my first date was walking around the castle in our adopted Korean hometown of Suwon. So castles are very special to me, and I LOVED painting a crumbly one.

This artwork is a one of a kind piece hand painted by Stephanie Ishler of Hallyu Back. If you are interested in commissioning an original painting, contact us here!
