Derrynane 297mm x 210mm – Framed Print Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Paper This painting was a wonderful journey, shared all the way with my fellow artist, the amazingly talented photographer, Sharon Leahy. It was from her photographs that capture the spirit and rugged beauty of the old Abbey Ruins in Derrynane, Co Kerry that I have tried to recreate in painting form. This wall with the three window arches is nearly 1000 years old and was supposedly built by the same order of monks from Skellig Micheal. There is a burial ground on the site that is still used and as per tradition, I believe the coffins are carried across the beach as it can only be accessed at certain times with the tides. Here the remains of “the great liberator” Daniel O Connells wife, Mary O Connell are buried. I had never heard of this place before and am always amazed at the unsurpassing history and beauty in that we are blessed to have in this land.

Keel – Achill Island Cottage
297mm x 210mm – Framed Print
This was a commission of an old cottage house in Keel in Achill Island. The house has so much character and is such a beautiful place in real life with the backdrop of the Minuan Cliffs in the distance.
There was a huge amount of little details that went into this one which I was able to do because of the larger size. Things like the individual slates on the roof, the sash windows with net curtains, and old cracks and nicks out of the old walls. All of this helps me to try my goal to have the painting look equally as good from a distance as up close.

Into the Light – Morris Castle

297mm x 210mm – Framed Print
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Paper
There is a place in Co Wexford where you walk through a tunnel under a canopy of trees and branches that opens out into the light and leads you down to the beach. Under your feet is dark gritty sand filled with twigs that’s shrouded in shadows but the light at the end is like an entrance into another world. It’s truly beautiful.
Often when painting I’m drawn to a challenge, and this was certainly one with a thousand branches to paint.
However, I loved every second of it and the effect of the light at the entrance gives it a very mystical feel.

Even before I took on this painting, I knew it was going to be an incredible challenge. So much so that I had doubts as to whether I could capture its full depth and detail.
From the very first paint stroke I knew it would be special but at the beginning, I struggled and there were times I wondered if I had bitten off more than I could chew.
It took by far the most time and involved the most commitment to create than any previous piece. However, the end result was one of triumph and one of which I am extremely proud of.
I was both humbled and honoured when the original sold to an art client, but it was not without a tinge of emotion when I let it go

This is my painting of the famous Cliffs in Co Clare that are so synonymous with Ireland.
It is a beautiful place where the herring gulls and puffin birds call over the music of the sea.

The famous Dublin harbour of Howth with its iconic lighthouse at the end of the pier.
It was a nice painting to bring to life and my first of Howth to create.
