In Progress

A couple of things I'm working on at the moment.
I'm working overtime these days as I need to prepare for a coming exhibition in May.
Plenty of time you might think but I'm going to California for two weeks on saturday so I need them all done by Friday evening.
3 more tonight and I should be on schedule :).

Enough pints ? :)

Tig Cóilí

Not much to say about this one except that if you've ever been to Galway ... you know ;) !

This painitng will be exhibited at Anton's Gallery Café, Father Griffin Road, Galway from May 7th till 30th.

"Surfary Sessions"

"Surfary Session"
This is a painitng that was requested by Mattu Noone from "The Bahh Band" for their coming tour of Ireland.

There was a very tight deadline for this and it came when I was already very busy so I had to use acrylics instead of my standard oil paintings to allow for shorter drying times. Think the result came close to what I'd normally get with oils.

20x30 inches.

Final Chords

Surfing is a bit like coming late to the last minutes an opera. You try to tiptoe your way in, hoping you won't get thrown out only to hear the last few chords of a symphony that started long before even bought your ticket.

After the Storm

"After the Storm"

I always get exited when a big storm comes in. Sure, it means a couple of days of misery, but when the winds eventually shift or die the water turns into shades of blue and brown, the surface becomes glass and waves come, relentless powerfull beasts rolling one after the other.
