My first time using linen as a painting surface, satisfied with the result.

My first time using linen as a painting surface, satisfied with the result.

Painted in November, 2012. I like painting sunsets, the vivid colours are attractive and enjoyable to paint.

From Rostellan Wood. I rarely repeat the same subject matter one after the other, but I had such a good time with the first briar leaves painting that I had enough appetite to do a similar subject. Anyway the colour scheme is very different to the other briar leaves painting!

Discovered during a walk in Rostellan Wood in October, 2012. There were some amazing bright-coloured briar leaves that day.

This bird was wading around in the pond in Fota Gardens.

Rain is coming in the distance over the hills. In Ireland when dark, rainy clouds approach over seas, the seas can turn a deep green.

This view is from above the ferns looking down. I like the effect, reminds me of a kaleidoscope or a vortex.

Captures an amazing sunset over Garryvoe beach in early December 2011. The tide was going out so the sky is reflected wonderfully on the wet sand. This place is a 3 or 4 minute walk from my house.

This butterfly is a common visitor to Irish gardens in summer. Sold.

This was painted when my second exhibition was coming near, so I worked hard to make sure it was ready in time.
