There's an article about my work on FineArtNews.
I think it does a pretty good job of capturing what I'm doing - and why.
Please have a look and let me know what you think.

This is the second in a series I’m currently creating (the first has sold already).
They’re very diluted acrylic paint and ink scraped onto canvas board.
This one is 10” square.

I painted ‘Monk at the Lake’ some months ago. I brought it out from storage this week to show someone and remembered how vibrant it is. A summer picture.

Worked on this today, alongside another, larger abstract. It’s not a pure black, but a mixture of ultramarine, raw sienna, raw umber and mars black. It gives a warmth.
It was still wet when I took the picture and I’ll see how it dries overnight in my studio on The Courthouse, Bushmills. #ink #abstractart #irishartist #pattern #interiordesign The Courthouse Bushmills

Today I made a new Monk picture. Monk is battling his way along the top of an ominous black formation. There’s snow. The trees are bent by the wind. Birds above and below.
There’s an unsettling sense of Monk in struggle.
It’ll go on my website tomorrow unless someone wants it before then.
Ink on A4 paper (30cm x 21cm)
£95. Free postage to Ireland/UK. At cost postage elsewhere.

I’ve been working on improving my website. There’s still a couple of photos on there that are not good enough quality, but overall, it’s looking better.
I’d love you to have look, share any thoughts or insights, see if you spot anything broken or ugly….

Yesterday I reorganised my space in The Courthouse Bushmills because my friend Yvonne Moore has decided to focus on sharing her wonderful work in other places.
It was a good chance to consider how I present my work

Between what I can do and what I can imagine is a wide and raging sea.
I try to swim across, but almost drown, landing back, battered and exhausted, on the shore I started from.
Still, each day, I try to reach my visions.

When the living sleep and the dead awake etc, etc, Huddersfield
Sir William Orpen, Self-portrait, 1906
The pen & ink with watercolor sketch was part of a letter sent by the Irish artist to his American patron + mistress, Florence Evelyn St. George. Orpen wrote almost daily to St. George - the letters always illustrated + sometimes composed of nothing but drawings. Their daughter Vivien gave over 350 illustrated letters by Orpen, dating between 1906 + 1929, to the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.

I’ve spent the last couple of days revamping my art website.
I’d love you to drop in and have a look.
Tell me what you think.
Point out any glitches you come across (I’m sure there’s plenty).
Enjoy some art.

Going up on my website tomorrow:
Title: Monk’s Winter Journey
Series: Monk’s World
Though the days are short and the sky is cold, Monk’s path is long.
The swirling ink and pastel skies capture the quiet solitude of winter.
A contemplative piece, echoing perseverance and inner stillness.
Medium: Ink on Paper
Dimensions: 42cm x 60cm

These two Monk pictures started a journey to their new home in Ohio today.
I love paintings finding a home with someone who has taken the trouble to fall in love with them.
Even better, I delivered them by hand to the buyer. We met in the shadow of Errigal, talked for a few minutes, and said goodbye.
Art is (for me) personal. Saying goodbye to a painting is pride tinged with sadness.
Travel well Monk.

With all the activitiy in the past week, thought it time for an #introduction !
I'm an Irish artist, designer & musician based on the North West Coast of Ireland, with Scotland in view just over the water {on a good day!}
My work mostly sits within the realms of Folklore, Myth & Legend and sometimes the Occult.
Open for personal or commercial commissions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Does a selection of current artwork count as an #introduction post?
