Original artwork description:

Portmagee is a village in County Kerry, Ireland. The village is located on the Iveragh peninsula south of Valentia Island. The name in Irish means 'the ferry', referring to its purpose as a crossing point to the island.

I visited Portmagee last summer while doing the Wild Atlantic Way and fell in love with the beauty of the harbour. I took this photo from a boat we were on going to the Skellig Islands. The beautiful coloured houses and boats inspired me to paint it on my return to London.
