When travelling around Ireland, especially in the west, you’ll come across abandoned cottages. Each one once housed a family and the mother was at the centre of that home. In my painting the cottage in ruins sits at the top of the hill and is gradually being encroached upon by nature. Our eye is led up through the abandoned field that once would have fed the family living there. The trees stand as guardians in silhouette against the sky and the setting sun. This 14.25" x 18″ X .75″ oil on canvas ready to hang. The edges, painted white, are .75" deep. All my paintings are varnished to add a protective coat against dust. Only the highest quality archival fine art grade oil 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.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

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.
