Oil paint on board, 13” x 15”
I took up painting after an art course at our local ‘Active
Retired Group’ last autumn. I love the ability to visually
express ideas as well as portraying the superb landscapes
in Kerry. I try to bring out in my work some of the magic
and charm of the region for those who have not experienced
it and to evoke the warmth of memory for those who,
like me, have long been under its’ spell.
“The work invokes the closeness of the people
to the environment and especially with the sea.
It portrays their courage and skill in voyaging
abroad and the call of home and harbour to the
Irish diaspora to return to their roots.”
