For the Birds

 "Yellowhammer"

Coloured pencil on acrylic paper

"Eurasian Wren"

12" x 8"

Back to the birds and coloured pencil, I still have the intention of painting every bird common to Ireland, however I think my production needs a boost. 

"Thames Barge"

Ink pigment on Acrylic paper.

16" x 12"

Another painting using ink pigment, I really like using this medium, the colours are so vibrant and I find them easier than watercolours. Going through a phase of boats at the moment, which I love, although I'm a lousy sailor.

"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.

Cobh from the pier.

16"x12" Ink pigment on acrylic paper.

The colourful town of Cobh is a great inspiration to paint. Love this view from the pier. 

Apple Blossom Time

Ink pigment on acrylic paper.

16" x12"

Back to the ink for this one .Took the reference photos myself in the beautifully wild garden alongside my studio.

Market Street in Kinsale

16"x12" Coloured pencil on card.

Back to the coloured pencils for a while, a view of Kinsale from an image I took a few years ago. Can't begin to count the hours that went into it but I think it was worth it. I have taken photos of the work in progress which I will post if anyone is interested.

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.
