Painting: Wall, Donkey
“Wall, Donkey” (Ireland) Stone walls are one of my favourite things. Indeed one of the reasons I am so slow on my bicycle in the west of Ireland is because of stopping to look at stone walls. And who doesn’t like a donkey? Seriously, who? I painted this donkey after an encounter at a dry-stone…

Painting: Ballycroy (Mayo)
“Ballycroy” (Mayo) I’d been wanting to paint this for years. It came out of a time I was cycling through Ballycroy and found I was making little progress because I kept looking backwards. And stopping the bike and looking for ages. Why do I have this landscape to myself, I asked my tired bicycle? Then…

Painting: Clonakilty Bay (Cork)
“Clonakilty Bay” (County Cork) A west Cork scene. You’re south of Clonakilty looking across the bay towards Inchydoney. Technically you’re looking at the bit of land that joins the bit of land that stops Inchydoney Island from actually being an island any more, but who’s getting technical. I’ve cycled up and down the road that…

Burren Walls (County Clare)
Painting: “Burren Walls” Stone upon stone upon stone. I find the Burren in County Clare intoxicating. I love that in a landscape often so desolate you are always looking at a million rocks, of which every single one has been held in human hands. Also, I just like rocks. And stone walls. And the odd…
