ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Inspired the Connemara Landscape around me my paintings are multi-layered, being as much about the medium of paint and the process of painting, as well as an interpretation of the landscape, in essence painting the landscape I feel rather than the landscape I see. Preferring to work on large canvases I paint in a layering process. I start with a ground with thinned-out washes of oil paint, creating drips and splashes along the way. I work on a number of canvases at the same time, each one feeding the next. With thicker more opaque paint I paint out certain areas, or enhance others, constantly editing, until a composition begins to emerge. I use brushes, rags, my fingers or palettes knives to create soft layers that result in an illusion of texture. These built-up layers eventually develop into an abstracted view of the landscape. The more you look at them, the more entities you see, resulting in a different take on it each time. When I paint, I am immersed in the painterly experience. By combining my technical skills as a painter together with my emotional response to the landscape brings an immersive and reflective quality to my work, for both the artist and observer.
