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.

Ink Pigment on Acrylic paper.

This painting came about almost by accident. One of my students was trying out ink pigment. She discarded this one and I said I might use it as a background. There was a pool of paint in the centre so I let it run and the basis of a tree appeared which I then worked up with a black fineliner pen. The leaves were an afterthought which I put in with acrylic paint.

Work in Progress 2

Spent a very humid day in the studio working on this again, think it’s getting places though still not happy with the background, too bright?

The exhibition is getting ever closer but we seem to have everything under control, I start worrying as it gets closer that something major has been forgotten.
Met a lovely lady yesterday in the studio, artist Cora Murphy who works out of a studio in Cork City. Her work is really good and her website is well worth a look. www.cormurphy.com
