Why on earth would I attempt to paint landscapes when you can get photos like these?
Admittedly the saturation is high and the pixels are visible
This sort of thing is a rich source for abstraction, combined with the sharp hail on my nose and my wet feet from the incoming tide
And Junos disappointment at the orange fishing float not being a ball (too hard too heavy) is just icing on the cake
Its February tomorrow, Spring will soon be here
Keep warm, be safe 🙂

donegal dreamscape
2 works on panels, each panel 50 x 70cm
oil and cold wax
with other images showing the history of the pieces through several layers
scratched and scarred and scored through layers of being
born in donegal
landscapes of rugged terrain, wind and rain
mythical and mystical and maybe magical

there are no pages anymore
the static pages with old work were I ut of date and boring, so they’re gone
I will make new pages
one about where I live in beautiful county donegal, ireland, which I intend to update with regular local snaps
me on golf course beach, cruit island
and a page of tools and techniques and the mediums that I use
so please be patient
in the meantime I will continue to post regular blogs of my paintings
thanks
Liz
