So comfortable and luxurious to touch – each is made out of vegan suede and includes filler. They work as individuals or why not pair themContinue reading “Cosy cushions in time for Christmas…”

Sunshine on a cloudy day
I’ve been racing the onset of winter with this latest project to transform a wooden gazebo… …into a perpetually sunny, coastal themed summer-house, and finally finished last weekend. I’m pleased with the results which combine traditional postcard scenes on the outside panels with a more ethereal internal vibe of airy sky- blue walls and ceilingsContinue reading “Sunshine on a cloudy day”
Swan Lake (finished)
I’m happy to finally lay the pastels down on this painting of the swans at Lough Neagh. It’s been challenging to paint but i just find the light so mesmerising and the swans so dramatic against the evening sky. It’s also been a bit of a learning curve – working towards what o thought wasContinue reading “Swan Lake (finished)”
Swan Lake
August was busy. I only managed to get one painting done (see my previous post about standing on the shoulders of giants for my painting of Northern Ireland’s beautiful Giant’s Causeway – better still, come visit the Causeway itself!) – I’m a bit disappointed in myself The good news is I think I’m now startingContinue reading “Swan Lake”
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Growing up in Northern Ireland, one of the first things that you learn in school and in life is that there’s more to this world than meets the eye. Ladies and gentlemen, there’s enchantment all around – the landscape has been etched by fairies and folklore (don’t cut down a hawthorn tree or the fairiesContinue reading “Standing on the shoulders of giants”

If there is anything I love more than seeing my paintings come to life, it’s seeing how they are transformed by a really skilled framer.

Sky and sea
Not an art post today but a tribute in celebration of the start of summer and a day’s sailing under sunny, cloud-streaked skies on Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. Gentle winds, no real agenda, just a vague plan to head up the Lough, enjoy the sights and sounds and snacks and company. I’ve painted the skiesContinue reading “Sky and sea”
Coast
I’ve spent my weekend in Dundrum doing a couple of art projects designed to blend the boundary between outdoors and indoors and bring the smell of the ozone and the cries of the seabirds inside. First was a series of Arctic terns painted directly on a bedroom wall. These birds are such light and dainty,Continue reading “Coast”
Seabirds at Dundrum
I have to admit, when I started this set of seabirds in late February I didn’t expect to still be painting them in mid May. But they’ve seen through the end of winter to the start of the warm weather. I usually feel a mix of elation, excitement and sadness when I come to theContinue reading “Seabirds at Dundrum”
