We have a new collection of Limited Edition artworks from Alan Reed so we just had to feature Alan Reed's Alnwick Castle, Northumberland  as Union Art's Artwork of the Week . This Signed Limited Edition Print features Alnwick Castle, the backdrop for one of the Harry Potter movies. Alnwick Castle is near Alnwick Gardens and Barter Books. Alan Reed's paintings are instantly recognisable as his, his landscapes and cityscapes are painted in his unique, fluid style that captures the atmosphere of different settings from the drama of city life to the serenity and beauty of rural landscape.
