sunsets

the light at this time of year is wonderful, particularly at dusk
I have been posting photos from sunset walks on facebook lately and several have included the old ruined gables of derelict cottages on the island where I live
this is a painting I made at this time of year a few years ago
sold now to a local collector of my work, it strikes me that I should do some more on this theme

a colour list

metamorphosis

And yes, here’s a favourite blue one (private collection England):

the blue and the green

And here is my favourite green one:

DIPTYCH

a new diptych just finished in my studio

2 canvases, each 60cm sq, painted together, one above the other

part seen, part imagined, part dreamt

a mountain and water and the autumn colours of the grass and rowan berries that grow on the turf bogs of donegal

oil and graphite and spray paint, with an experimental use of masking tape (used, sprayed then removed)
