I had painted a few small sunset paintings and felt ready to do a much larger canvas when I did this. The sea took a lot of time and patience. Painted from 8th September to 18th October, 2011.

View of Ballycotton at Sunset – Sold
I had done a similar painting and given it as a gift. My first exhibition was a few weeks away so I did another one for it. This one turned out a bit neater.
Paper Lantern in the Night Sky – Sold
I enjoyed doing this, I launched a few paper lanterns at the start of Spring, 2011. They’re wonderful the way they float off into the night sky. Another exploration of types of light. Sold.
Cherry Blossom Tree In Midleton – Sold
The wonderful cherry blossom comes out in spectacular glory in the middle of April. This is my tribute to it. There’s a row of these trees next to the Owenacurra river in the town nearest to me, Midleton.
Red Admiral Butterfly – Sold
I chose a jade shade of green for the background, it was a good contrast to the orange in the wings. Sold
Fire
Painted on a small board 8 inches x 6 inches. I enjoyed painting the flames. I like exploring different kinds of light.
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.
Sunset View of Ballycotton – Sold
A gift for a friend of mine. I used artistic licence on the colours in the sky and water; the reds and oranges are much more vivid than reality.
