Oils on Acrylic Painting Paper

In late May and early June, the buttercups come out in their full yellow glory. I was looking for a field which wasn’t mown for silage and had plenty of these wild flowers. I found one not too far from home. We’re having great fine weather and I’m trying to get the most out of it by painting outdoors every day.

Black Bull in Beausang's Field

I enjoyed doing this. Very refreshing subject matter and it’s my first larger oil painting. This fellow was standing in the field opposite my house.

Rainy Sunset in the Strand Field – Sold

Rainy Sunset in the Strand Field

Introduced some florescent red and yellow to my palette to give the corn more of a sunlit brilliance. The view is looking east into the rain and rainy clouds, the sun is setting behind the viewer so there was a strange atmosphere of sunlight and rain. Sold.

Bales in the Strand Field

Bales in the Strand Field

This is a view just outside home of our field that borders Garryvoe Beach. Painted from life over several weekends from 14th January to 17th February, 2007. I was lucky with the weather; it was remarkablly settled at the time. I wanted to show the vastness of the field and give a sense of perspective with the bales.
