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.

Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork City
One of the most recognised and beautiful historical buildings in Ireland’s second largest city. I wanted to paint it at night because there is a great sense of atmosphere about it.
View of Ballinwilling Strand Looking East – Sold
This was painted in early Spring, 2012 and to keep out of the cold air, I would sit in the front passenger seat of my car and paint what I saw outside the windscreen. This is a nice, quiet beach about a mile east of Garryvoe beach.
Flashlit Spider and Web
My sisters helped me choose this subject matter. It’s very unusual and I’m pleased that I didn’t use a ruler to do the straight threads of the web, all freehand.
Black Bull in Beausang’s Field – Sold
Prints, posters and other products available here
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.
Blackbird in a Sunbeam – Sold
My second oils painting. Normally, blackbirds look jet black but this fellow was in blinding sunlight that picked up subtle browns and blues.
Foxglove in the Evening Sun – Sold
This is my first oils painting, painted in January 2012. Took me a little while to get used to oils; their stiffness and the way they work with mediums was new.
