London Irish Centre Exhibition

London Irish Centre Exhibition

These two oil paintings form part of a “real room” of an Irish family in 1950s Britain installation. The exhibition, which is on during August through to […]

Three Small(ish) Donegal Paintings

Three Small(ish) Donegal Paintings

Donegal is a big mountaneous county in a big country. Imagine my shock when I discover that it’s only the 4th largest in Ireland (after Cork,  Galway and Mayo) at 4,860 km2 (1,880 sq miles). It seems even bigger as there is no railway or motorways here, so it takes a long time to travel around all the mountains. One of joys of the county is that it’s relatively empty (the 5th least populated in Ireland) with 32.6 people per km2.

At the foot of Scraigs, Fintown (Donegal)

There’s a good reason why landscape painters use the “landscape” orientation for their canvases – i.e. the longest side is horizontal  – and that’s because you can fit more landscape in that way.  I have recently discovered another good reason – social media and wordpress thumbnails don’t like tall narrow paintings and crop them.

The Doors of Derry

The Doors of Derry

I suspect that people like scale of the house as well as the the pillars and generous sized windows. Nothing says lord of the manor like a […]

My Gravatar Profile Emma Cownie

Emma Cownie

Born in Hereford, educated in Cardiff and London, I am a professional contemporary artist who lives in Derry City and Donegal, Ireland. My work explores how light can focus attention on fleeting moments. By documenting the shadows cast in bright sunshine or by night time street lamps, I seek to catch a moment. As I am interested in painting people and places, intimacy and communities, streets and buildings. I have found myself drawn to and influenced by painters who have a special relationship with colour and light; such as American realists Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent and British painter David Hockney. I am also drawn to the skies and landscapes of Irish artists such as Paul Henry, and James Hubert Craig.
