A year’s a long time in art. When I look back at my paintings from early 2019, it feels like I made them much longer ago than that! This selection of “popular” (most likes/biggest reach) is based on my Instagram account, there are many more images that I shared on Facebook, that were also popular but are not included here. The work in progress photos are often very popular, sometimes they are more popular than the final painting!
The most popular nine posts/paintings are all of Donegal, Ireland, paintings.
Here are my most popular posts/paintings of landscapes, people and animals of Gower, Wales and Stroud, England.
Finally, a selection of commissioned work. I particularly enjoyed painting the beautiful Maine Coon cats, especially as pet portraits are usually of the canine variety!
My personal favorite from 2019 is this one. There is something about the neatness of the houses on the island that I relish in this painting.
Of course, the irony is that one of my most popular posts of 2019 on social media was not a painting but a photograph that my husband took on the spur of the moment of us in woolly hats (and my new Donegal jumper) on Christmas Day!
Here’s wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2020!

Happy 2020 from Lighthouse Point Florida!! May 2020 be filled with many hikes to scenic places and immortalized in your paintings!! Always beautiful.
Thank you Judy!
You do look quite fetching in those hats! 🙂
This was a lovely review of your work from the last year.
I think I came off better than Seamas – the only hats that look good on him are those tweedy flat caps that Irish (or probably any) farmers wear.
Same with my husband. He looked for years for a hat that suited him, and that is what worked. Now he wears them all the time. Most handsome.
