Abstract

IMG_0014-003

“Acrylic on canvas. 40”x30” “

A painting I did with my friend, well known ceramic artist Orla O’Rourke,  to display in the sun room in the Artisan cafe in Shanagarry Design Centre. We have tried to represent in an abstract way, the view from the sun room looking across the fields and bogland towards Ballycotton Bay.

Orla also has a fantastic ceramic work displayed , also in the sun room which I will upload when she gets over her shyness.

Happy St Patricks Day to everybody, hope you all have a great week end, If you happen to be in the vicinity of The Shanagarry Design Centre, please call into us “Downstairs in Shanagarry Design Centre”, where you will find loads of things to interest you.

  2. Me too - love it!
    It really is a wonderful painting. It is much more landscape than abstract to me - beautiful:-)
