Sunshine Lady


Sunshine Lady came from a meeting this woman that seemed to shine whenever she walked into the Dog Gone Café/Gallery ( my creation for the summer of 2008). I painted this one evening at the Café in semi darkness, the evening went into the early hours of the morning. I interupted the painting to have a few pints of Guinness at Mullarkey's across the road. There was great Funk band playing and they had everyone jumping that night, getting really funked up!
When the painting was finished I hung it in a place so it would be the first thing I would see when I came down in the morning, a surprise present to myself!

Creation

Creation
Creation is a very textured piece, people are inclined to touch it, which is unusual for a painting I think, I know when I see a sculpture that I like I want to touch it, I think most galleries have it all wrong with all their signs of don't touch, work is made to be touched!

Poppies in the Wind

Poppies in the Wind
Poppies are my favourite flowers, simple and so vibrant. We all can identify them, are drawn to them. In each of our lives we all need to get away from our world, you can step into the painting and you are walking through the cornfield, the poppies welcoming you, it is a place of warmth and protection, you emerge relaxed in the knowledge that you have found a place to go whenever you need those moments of escape.
