"Fishing Boats in Ballycotton "

Ink pigment on acrylic paper.

16"x12"

Whenever I am struggling for inspiration I turn to the harbour in Ballycotton. With all the different boats, most commercial fishing boats ,  others waiting for their weekend owners to take them out on a pleasure trip, I never fail to see a potential painting. For this painting I used my (at the moment) favourite medium, ink pigment, with a small amount of acrylic for some of the smaller details.

A view of Cork City

Ink Pigment on Acrylic Paper

16"x7.5"

The first painting of Cork City for a long time. Tried to keep it loose but was very hard not to get bogged down in detail.

Derelict farmyard

11.5" x 8"

Really on a roll with these ink pigments although I have used small amounts of acrylic paint on this one. Another derelict farmyard that I would love to own, but wouldn't have the energy to renovate. Looking for a name for the painting....any suggestions?
