Storm Over Lambay 2008 Watercolour

This is a watercolour on board and again my stormy sky obsession get a fresh outing in this study for a larger canvas painting but it works well on its own.

Watercolour is such a beautiful medium that I have used all my life but not on a consistent basis and I can only get better as I use it much more in the future.

Painting is my passion

For years I have been painting the view from my studio on the Burrow Beach in Sutton/Howth, and the area around this side of Dublin. This is my passion and what I love to do.

It is my own way of relaxing and rebooting my creative mind when it goes a bit pear-shaped and fuzzy when I get overwhelmed with stuff like accounts, bills and the uncertainty of making a living as an artist without a pension.

Most of all I love art itself in all its manifestations, old and new and to me, the art of landscape is always inspiring. If I have another life then all I want to do is paint on canvas.

These artworks are very personal to me as they are what I just love to do, not for a book or a commission or what I think people might like, they are my heart and soul. I hope they find a place in your heart and your home.
