Brian Mooney

I have been painting for over 50 years, and have had numerous exhibitions in both Ireland and Australia. My paintings are figurative, and include landscapes, ‘genre’, portraits, and wildlife. I use a variety of media: oil, egg-tempera, mixed-media, coloured pencil, acrylic, and casein.
