Glenlough Bay, Donegal
In my last post I decribed visiting the abandoned fishing village of An Port tucked away in a remote corner of the Donegal shoreline (read it here). We were inspired to seek out this very remote spot by American artist Rockwell Kent, who visited and painted the area in the 1920s. I was waiting for […]
An Port (Donegal)
An Port has loomed large in my imagination for a long time. It’s very remote and quite difficult to get to. To reach it, you have to drive down a very, very long single track road (it’s about three miles but it feels longer) on the way to Glencolmcille. There are plenty of sheep and […]
Boat on Rossbeg Beach, Donegal
Rossbeg (sometimes spelt Rosbeg) is a tiny townland on the west coast of Donegal, just south of Portnua and Nairn. There is a pier and a scattering of houses, some are modern, but many are old cottages, probably used as holiday lets. The day we visited the weather was calm and sunny. It was just perfect.

I am enthralled with your urban minimalism and I want them all. However does one choose only one of your incredible journeys, each painting with a small story, and every one so magnetic you want to be there. I am unable to express my admiration adequately of your incredible talent and unique style. It is exciting also that you are offering prints now. I am yearning for another of your paintings, to delight my home, or perhaps a print or two before October 8.
Thank you for your kind words, Debbie. There’s always a story. It part of human nature to want a story too. I find makes the painting a “deeper” thing. It also helps explains where it came from and what it means to me. Some of the scenes in the “Hollowed Community” project were chosen because of light, colour and composition. Others, were chosen because of the story I wanted to tell. That was particularly true with the “Former Grocer” as I never forgot the Grocer who mourned his wife. We forget so much of our past and yet other things stick with us!
