Portrait of a Mountain III, oil on board,
I grew up under this mountain Sleigh Sneacht, it's the highest one in our area of Inishowen in Donegal.
Always otherworldly. The way it's constantly changing with the seasons and weather yet constantly the same.

It's a grand day for the ducks, as they say in Donegal!
Kinnagoe Bay (Irish: Bá Chionn an Ghabha) in Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland.
The wreck of a Spanish Armada ship, La Trinidad Valencera, was discovered in 1971.

This place... Fiver fingers beach, Inishowen, Co. Donegal in Ireland
Almost finished this one looking forward to beginning a new commission next.
I grew up hopping between these rock pools looking for sand ells and crabs

Thought for my day and maybe your day... If we are together in the spirit of all that is good or can be good in this world, then let's not allow ourselves to be divided by anger.
Humanity and compassion first.
Society makes it's own monsters when we ignore these.

Dense, towering vertical clouds. Water vapor condensing and sinking. Like droplets of water on a rain facing window. Moved and carried by an invisible force on currents high above us.

Skylines IV
This small painting is part of a series of quick en plein air studies. They depict the landscapes around my home at various times of day paying particular attention to the line where land and sky meet, depicting these with broad sweeps of brushwork.
