Mother’s Rheumatic Right Hand
Potted Cylcamen (Red October)
Ballinwilling Strand (Red October)
Zeal

Portrait painted from life in 3 and a half hours. Haven’t painted someone from life in a year so good to be back. It’s flawed but I like it as did the sitter.
Two Six-Spot Burnet Moths on Ragwort Flowers – Sold
These moths and flowers were right on the edge of a beach not far from where I live.
Spring View of Garryvoe
This is the fourth painting of the same view, so I’ve all four seasons covered. Springs in previous years had harsh weather, so in 2011 with a pleasant April, my opportunity came.
Midwinter View of Garryvoe
In late December, 2009 a severe cold stretch of weather began that continued into early 2010. This painting records that time. Fortunately, because where I live is so close to the sea we were spared the worst of the snow and ice as can be seen from the fields, where muted greys and browns can be seen rather than a continuous blanket of white. This is my third painting in my series of painting the same view over four seasons.
Autumnal View of Garryvoe
I hadn’t painted for 6 months before I started this. I was determined to make a highly detailed painting as I was a little disappointed with the previous painting’s foreground. Based on a reference photo; the day I took it I wasn’t in the area, I was down by the prom walk in Garryvoe and noticed bales in the field on the higher ground. When I got there I found that they were in every field towards the sea. So I spent the next 6 months painting. The last 3 were spent on the foreground, doing those stubbles trying to depict the sunlight reflecting off of them. No compromise!
