The Lost and Found Collection
On Days Like These
Acrylic on Canvas 14" x 38"
Visiting friends in West Cork has influenced this painting, in particular the relationship between the fisherman in his boat and the Irish Sea. The atmosphere that emerges from the scene, the warm Irish summer light, playing on the surface of the water, evokes a certain timelessness, that marries well with the title.
Spring Flowers with Lemons
Acrylic on Canvas 16" x 12"
This still life painting depicting a small blue bowl of lemons, an Irish ceramic jug and Irish spring flowers brings together influences from home and abroad, in this 'en plain air' painting.
Sunflower Hut, Sicily
Mixed Media on Canvas 24" x 36"
During lockdown, having set up my studio in between my kitchen table and back garden, I looked at my drawings of Sicily and began to paint. Over the course of the last decade, my family and I travelled to Sicily. Here the light is very harsh/ strong, and the temperatures soar to 43℃ daily, so it was on our daily trips down the mountain, to swim in the Mediterranean Sea, that we would pull over and soak up the vistas, this vista being my favourite. It's my way of recording the intense heat, smells and colours of this beautiful coastline.
