End of Autumn

The End of Autumn

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.

Another derelict cottage believe it or not. Would buy it tomorrow if I had the money for the restoration. Oh well, have to be satisfied with painting it.

Derelict Cottages, Gap of Dunloe.

Ink pigment on watercolour paper. Framed size 18”x14”

For Sale €200.00

Couldn’t resist trying this one. These derelict cottages must have been photographed by just about everyone who visited the Gap, including me. Not sure what it is about dereliction that attracts me, maybe it’s the history of the place, who lived there, how many generations started their life there? Must have been a tough life.

Reference for this painting was a photo I took a few years ago in Ardmore, Co Waterford of the Protestant Church. It was the light that attracted me and I hope I have achieved this in the picture.
