Blue Twilit Scene On Garryvoe Beach
Twilight Epiphany
Crescent Moon Over Garryvoe Beach
Twilit August Evening Over The Strand Field – Sold
The field outside where I live. Barley is growing.
Midsummer Twilight
Painted over a few nights from life using a headlight mounted on my forehead. It was an amazing experience to paint out in the night air, so still and memorable. I’m moving away from using photographs as references.
Twilit Winter Sky
I think this is the lowest horizon I’ve ever put on a painting, but then it’s all about the sky.
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.
Galway Cathedral at Dusk
I had noticed before I started painting this, that there is a fine contrast between street lighting and the twilight sky, between the yellow/orange glow and deep indigo of the sky. I was staying in Galway when I started on this, a fine town with an impressive cathedral. I like this painting a lot.
