Painting: “The Long Walk” (2011)

Once upon a time in Galway I sat on Claddagh Quay and, using my bicycle as an easel, painted the view across to the the Long Walk. Then it rained.

It was a nice rain, soft, refreshing, and created wonderful effects on the painting. Then it rained harder. The effects weren’t so wonderful. I tried to protect the canvas but there was nowhere to go and nowhere to put it, not before it rained heavier still. It absolutely lashed and, before I could get to somewhere to shelter, in that timeless rain I watched all my paint run off the canvas and pour onto the ground. The next day I went back and started again.
