“This is a painting of a special place in Ireland I used to enjoy spending time in. While painting, marks and colours help me recall a memory or a feeling of a place...The open vista from a high viewpoint gives this piece a contemplative quality. It’s evening, the sun casts a burnt orange glow to the bog grasses. A warm feeling fills the atmosphere. Soft diagonal brushstrokes falling from sky to earth and the stream trailing off into the illuminated distance highlight a sensation of serenity. We look at paintings that we feel a connection with. Do you feel it too?”
