I am delighted to have another of my painting adapted for a novel cover by an Irish writer. This time my painting “Cottage on Bunbeg Harbour” (2019) has been used for the Spanish translation of Donal Ryan’s “Strange Flowers” or rather “Flores Extrañas”. I have started reading the original and I am thoroughly enjoying it. It was a best-seller and won An Post Irish Novel of the Year 2020 & was longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award too!
Here below, is my original painting so you can see how it has been adapted by the publishers.

Here is the proposed cover below; the white background is in the house style of the Spanish publishers. I think it looks really impressive.

Reviews of Strange Flowers can be read below (I haven’t read them yet as I dont want to ruin any surprises)
