View Of Ballycotton From A Barley Field Near Ballynamona Beach – Sold
Painted outside in the open air in fine weather. This field is next to Ballynamona Beach. I liked using Sap Green in the places where green is. For years I’ve been mixing yellow and blue to get green. I didn’t put on sun cream on the third day and my right arm got an unmerciful burning!
Ballycotton Island on an April Evening – Sold
This is the island as seen from my house looking south. I have to thank my sister who alerted me to the unusual light on the buildings that evening. Sold.
Ballycotton Pier at Dusk
Ballycotton pier and harbour is just 3 miles from where I live. Behind the pier are two islands, the taller one has a lighthouse which is the bright red light in the painting. The bright lights illuminating the pier were a satisfying contrast with the deep indigo of the sky. Indeed this is my favourite colour to depict a sky.
Winter Sunset Seascape at Ballycotton Cliffs
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.
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.
