About The Artwork

A big sky where awe and expansiveness are laid out before us. I wanted to give the feeling of us being led into the painting via the path on the right and then on across the hedgerows dotted in the fading distance like a score on a stave. It leads us to the muted rose glow of the sea and then, we look up and up through the diagonal curtains of light filling the sky. The fields’ rich vibrant green and regular formations offer a stark contrast to the cool unfolding drama above that can neither be regimented nor controlled. This 23.5″ x 15.75″ x 1.3″, acrylic on Arches watercolour paper. mounted on deep edge wooden panel, is ready to hang. Framing is not required. All my paintings are varnished to add a protective coat against dust. Only the highest quality archival fine art grade acrylic paints are used on the surface gessoed and prepared by myself. Packing: all work is packed professionally using protective compressed foam boards 2 cm deep so that your painting arrives safely.

Wandering through the landscape we're touched by its mood and light, we live in it, and it lives in us. This magical union is where my paintings are born. How can I make tangible on a paint surface a world that is full of magic and poetry? My finished pieces do not mirror a subject matter but are a representation of emotions felt in a specific time or place. Often the fleeting effect of a particular light and colour in nature are held somewhere in my visual memory. At some point, this takes centre stage on the painting I am working on. It may appear during the process of creation without an obvious connection to the subject matter at hand and yet, it adds another dimension, a particular atmosphere. These processes are ways and means by which I express my connection to nature in all its richness and variety. I am an Irish artist living and working in Provence France My work is rooted in the Romantic landscape tradition. I hold a Bachelor Degree in Fine Art (BFA). My work is in collections in France, the USA, Great Britain and Ireland.
