Original: Oil on canvas • 18” x 14” • 2025 • Sold
This painting depicts Murdo, the Highland Cow who resides at Castle Roy and keeps watch over the ruins. This protection over the flowers that bloom among the crumbling walls is a symbol for how we care for our inner selves when the life we have built crumbles away.
The Scotland Collection is an ongoing body of work that draws visual reference from a road trip my wife and I took through Scotland in spring of 2023. It is inspired by queer ancestry and what their lives might have been like, imbued with my personal experiences of love, friendship, and queerness. Read more here.

My canvas prints are available in sizes that are easy to find frames for.
They can be framed without glass in front because of the soft, non-reflective, matte canvas finish.
Frame the print flat & mounted to a board (with acid-free adhesive) just like you would a regular paper print.

My most commonly asked question - How did you get all that texture in it?!
Here’s a bit more about my process of taking a textured painting all the way to a canvas print - done entirely by me, Carly.
Photographing: I use a macro lens on a DSLR camera to take highly detailed images of my paintings. I make sure the natural light is bright but soft, and I hang the painting somewhere that will be the best to recreate hanging in your home. I make sure the sunlight direction highlights the “light source” of the painting, and create just a small bit of shadow to show the texture of the oil paint.
Editing: I take the multiple detail photos I take of each painting and put them into Photoshop - arranging, adjusting, and blending them to get a single digital file.
Printing: I have a giant printer in my house that I produce all my prints with. I do multiple colour tests to get the print to say exactly what I want from the original.
Packaging, shipping, etc: I am proud to say all prints are printed, cut, labelled, packed, and shipped from my studio in Edmonton, Alberta.
