Now, if you've been following my journey, you know that I absolutely love exploring county Waterford. The thing is, I tend to get travel sickness, which means I have to plan my trips carefully to allow for enough time to recover. Waterford happens to be at the perfect...

Despite the less-than-ideal weather forecast, I had planned to spend the week painting outdoors, trying to find moments of clear weather to do so. Yesterday was a sunny and perfect day, so I decided to head to Cahore to set up for plein air painting. However, the wind...

Just a quick note to let you know that the gallery will be closed for next week. If you need to collect something just give me a call. I will be maning my stand (G55) at Bloom, wish me luck! 🤞

Guess where I had the privilege of visiting recent

Guess where I had the privilege of visiting recently? Annacurragh, my friends! I was commissioned to paint its serene beauty en plein air, and let me tell you, it truly touched my soul. This delightful village is nestled in the most enchanting setting, with gentle hills in the distance, content cows grazing nearby, a humble church that graces the landscape, a quaint little bridge, and oh, the countless shades of green that surround it all!

As I immersed myself in the atmosphere, I was fortunate to capture the soft evening light and the moonrise that followed. I chose to paint it with my finger as a stamp because it was just the right size and allowed me to create the right shape. Sometimes, unconventional methods yield surprisingly effective results, and my humble finger proved to be the ideal tool for the job.
The silly sense of joy and accomplishment I feel when I look at that little mark made by my finger brings a smile to my face. 'Sad' as my daughter sarcastically pointed out 🤣🤣🤣

Last week, I had the pleasure of doing some plein air painting at Ballyfad Woods. The weather was truly delightful, with the gentle sun casting beautiful dappling patterns on the path. It was a joy to see bluebells in abundance, painting the landscape with their vibrant hues.

Hey friends, I wanted to share something with you

Hey friends, I wanted to share something with you that I recently created - a commissioned painting of Clone Beach in Castletown. I thought you might like to see it, especially since the sunset behind Tara Hill is truly stunning. I worked from two photos to create the composition and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I hope it brings a little bit of joy to your day, and if you have any feedback or thoughts, please let me know! Thanks for checking it out.

This painting is currently making its way to @therosslaregallery . I originally painted it as an online demo for a group of watercolor painters from New York, led by @lorimcqueeneyart . It's impressive how far a humble bunch of flowers has come, even if some of this journey was just virtual. Hopefully, it will find its forever home soon! 😊 🤞

As a painter, even on holidays, when you come across new and stunning places, your first instinct is to capture them on paper or canvas. That's how my short break in Dungarvan turned into a temporary studio. Take a look at my painting of the sunrise over Colligans! I had to wake up at 5:30 am to get it done, so I hope you appreciate it :)
