Slow Season

This painting was an attempt to revisit a medium I had not used in years: ink washes.  Specifically sepia ink and water, rather than my usual watercolor.  I have since successfully used ink washes in a couple of other paintings.  SOLD

Riding To the Sea

Near Sligo in Ireland, we were trailing behind a group of riders as they made their way down to the strand.  Watercolor, Image 10" x 14", Framed to 16" x 20".  $400

Resting at Glendalough

Glendalough, in County Wicklow, Ireland, is one of my favorite spots in the world. The site of a monastic village that was thriving before Paris was founded, over the centuries it has become the final resting place for many souls. The peace and spirituality of the valley is undeniable.  Watercolor, Image 10" x 14", Framed to 16" x 20".  $400

Cat and Mouse

Sometimes life presents us with unexpected subjects for a painting. This is an actual pose struck by our cat.  I don't know what she found so interesting in the computer "mouse", but the scene was irresistible! Painted in Sepia watercolor.

"Time Through Elizabeth's Eyes"

When I first saw this subject photographed by photographer Elizabeth Warner, I knew it would provide a great example of weathered wood in watercolor.  I tracked down the photographer and obtained permission to base the above painting on her photograph, thus the title "...Through Elizabeth's Eyes".  Watercolor, Image 10" x 14", Framed to 16" x 20".  $600

Faherty's String Instruments

A visit to a musical instrument building shop in Cork, Ireland produced this painting.  A variety of stringed instruments hung from the ceiling, making an interesting collage of shapes and colors.  Watercolor. Image 10" x 14", Framed to 16" x 20".  $400

"Walk On a Snowy Night"

Done in December, using sepia watercolor, this scene makes me shiver just looking at it.  You can almost hear the crunch of the snow underfoot.  SOLD
