Poulnabrone Dolmen Watercolor Original Artwork

€1,295.00

 

I have wanted to paint watercolors of Celtic Irish Landscapes for years and now have started with these first two, Newgrange and Poulnabrone Dolmen.

These are two of my favourite places on the planet.

Been addicted to Newgrange since I was a kid and had to crawl (before excavation and restoration) behind my mom and a man with a bicycle light who showed us the interior with flickering shadows and and superstition filling the shadowy spaces with all those weird cryptic carvings and symbols. Been in awe of it ever since. Back in 1988 I was lucky to have the entire interior to myself by arrangement for a movie on my art. The wonderful George Eoghan the archeologist was my guide this time but the wonder never ceases.

Again, with my mom on a trip through her native County Clare, we stopped after a trip around Corkscrew Hill (now called The Burren) and I was allowed explore this iconic dolmen.

Years later I want back and it was still just as wondrous and unique, but it did look a lot smaller. A Father Ted moment.

Description

Poulnabrone Dolmen Watercolor Original Artwork

One of the most iconic and often photographed neolithic dolmens in Ireland.

I have painted it myself at least half a dozen times and still, it retains its beauty and mystery for me.

NEW ARTWORK

This watercolour of one of Ireland’s most iconic and probably most photographed dolmens is a new watercolour, specially commissioned by a collector of my work. This is the first of a new series of watercolours based on my earlier paintings of Irish monuments and my way of getting my work into the hands of modest collectors and fans of my art.
Each new watercolour will be different for the other as no two watercolours are ever exactly the same and knowing my own habits I will ring the changes anyway for fun.

ARTWORK DETAILS

So remember these new watercolours are all unique and only painted to order.
Each work is on heavy 310gsm watercolour rag paper and hand painted in watercolour inks and paint, with the addition of some white gouache where I feel it adds depth.
Size is A3 16.5” x11.69”.

Poulnabrone Dolmen, County Clare, Newgrange County Meath, and Staigue Fort, County Kerry will be the first three in this new series.
