About The Artwork

This large Acrylic painting is about a small craft heading skyward dwarfed by the majesty of a luminous billowing cumulus cloud rising high into the classic blue sky. This fourth in my series of Icarus painting explores our relationship to the world around us and how humanity, like Icarus, is flying too close to the sun with every year that passes. I wanted to make a cloudscape that was luminous and showed the beauty and wonder of our world. The cloud is immense and imposing but of course it too will eventually disappear. But for the moment, it glows brightly in the firmament, watching the plane disappear into the blue. This 31.75″ x 31.75 x 1.75″, Acrylic on canvas 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 paint is 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.
