Painting: Liffey, 6 Landmarks

Liffey, 6 Landmarks
16″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
€165
S&H €11
Being from Dublin West, my route into and out of the city has never been a northside or southside artery but instead follows the river, along both banks of the Liffey’s quays and valley. So that’s why you’ve seen a few Dublin Liffey paintings of late, and that’s why [...]

Painting: Sheep

Sheep
24″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
€225 €165 SOLD
S&H €15
This is called simply Sheep not because it’s like a Star Trek reboot of my sheep paintings, but because it’s the first painting of sheep I started - having begun it years, yes years, before Sheep, Stone Wall and Sheep, Stone Wall II.

I like shapes. I [...]

Painting: Liberty Hall and O’Connell Bridge

Liberty Hall & O’Connell Bridge
16″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
SOLD
Standing at the wall of the river Liffey on Dublin’s Aston Quay I love looking at Liberty Hall in its party hat, and at the junction, which I’ve drawn and painted several times, of the bridge with O’Connell Street (Bachelor’s Walk and Eden Quay) - though obviously with [...]

Birds Wires Grass Paintings as Prints

As the original paintings I’ve done to date of the Birds Wires and Rooks Grass pictures are all sold, I’ve now made most of them available as prints together with some other bird paintings. More will be added.

The above picture is a collage of some of the bird paintings available as prints. It links to [...]

Dun Laoghaire Pier and Howth Head

Dun Laoghaire Pier and Howth
20″ x 8″
canvas, unframed
€165
S&H: €11 Worldwide
I like shapes, and the profile of Howth Head along with the boats of Dun Laoghaire harbour are a favourite collection at any time of day. In this painting it’s clearly a sunny time of day, as the roaring red sky would indicate.

Painting: Cottage From Sheep Field

Cottage From Sheep Field
14″ x 10″
canvas, unframed
€149
S&H: €11 Worldwide
A cottage, somewhere rural in Ireland. You’ve seen others I’ve painted, and you’ll see more. This one is THAT cottage, the one I lived in briefly when I thought I was becoming an artist alone in the country, give or take a dog and a bicycle. You [...]

Painting: Liffey Bridges

Liffey Bridges
14″ x 11″
canvas, painted sides, unframed
SOLD
I like a glut of bridges, and because the Liffey bends its way through Dublin’s city centre there are several points to enjoy such views. This particular one is from the south quays looking east to the pedestrian Millenium and Ha’penny bridges, and O’Connell bridge and the Loopline bridge [...]

Painting: Frank Sherwin Bridge, Dublin

Frank Sherwin Bridge
16″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
SOLD
Although Frank Sherwin Bridge does hide many views of Sean Heuston Bridge, it does at least afford newer close-up views of its older cousin. Most times when I’m crossing one I then immediately cross the other. This is only problematic if I actually want to get to the other side [...]

Painting: Loopline Bridge, Dublin

Loopline Bridge
16″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
€165 €125* SOLD
S&H: €11 Worldwide
Some of us never got to appreciate the views of the Custom House unobstructed by the Loopline Bridge, because we’re not 120 years old, so maybe we don’t feel as strongly against it as we should. I like railway bridges and without the advertising hoardings I think [...]

Painting: From Grattan Bridge

From Grattan Bridge
16″ x 12″
canvas
SOLD
Grattan Bridge I’ve painted from several angles and I’m not sure which is my favourite view, but I do like the hippocamp lamps. Growing up I assumed the view east along the river would never change. That was before the IFSC, the Millenium Bridge, the Boardwalk, and George’s Quay Plaza.
