Late Summer View of Garryvoe

This took two months to complete. This year marks 20 years since I first tackled this view and 15 since I last painted it. It’s a view from one of the family farm fields, the ‘High Field’. I painted it on a big board over a metre wide, the biggest piece ever. Though it follows a reference photo closely, there is artistic licence in the colouring especially of the shadows. Reference photo was taken in late August 2008, so this has been a long time on the backburner. A housing estate near the edge of the land below the caravan site has been omitted, as have two electricity poles in the two closest fields.
