 A quick study of some sea cliffs on the coast of Cork.

Thanks for looking :)

Colors of Winter

Oil on foamx 24 x 24 cm

Another heavily laden oil work I have just finished.

Once again I have used foamx as a base. The painted

image is one from the Gearagh in Cork. It's an area of 

such scenic quality that I think it would be easy to find

 a thousand paintings in just one visit.

Thanks for looking :)

Study of the head of a crow

Ballpoint pen on cartridge 30 x 20cm

I have to admit I have a weakness for drawing crows, they are such a resilient and

intelligent bird. I have ample opportunity to study them also, living near a large 

roosting colony.

Thanks for looking :)

Some Life studies from the fourth floor studios

Got a chance again, to do some life studies at the Fourt Floor Studies.

The poses last from two minutes to twenty. The shorter poses are shown

above in the top images with the a longer one displayed in the lower image.

At the moment it seems the only time I am taking a break from my ink pens

as a drawing medium is when I attend these studies, but I couldn't  imagine

capturing life poses in anything other than graphite or paint.... yet.

Thanks for looking :)

Exhibition at The Mart Art Gallery.

 I have been lucky enough to have myself included as part of the exhibition, "Art, Line and Sinker," 

in Dublin this week, so if you are around the capitol and have some time to spare then please feel free to drop in.
