Summer 2013: Sand Stone Sky

One day early this summer we were walking on the beach in Youghal looking up toward the promenade. I was fascinated by the different elements in view. There were sand, stones, roofs and sky to be seen. There were large boulders piled haphazardly and there was the cracked and weathered seawall of the prom. Sometimes the roofs of the large old seaside houses peeked over the wall. There were small glimpses through gaps or openings in the wall. One picture explores that other element of Youghal beach, wood.

2012 The Return

Buttimers



Tide Out


Coming Home


Waiting

Yes this time I have returned to simple watercolours of the harbour and familiar boats.








A short series of watercolours titled Digging for Worms.

2011

Watching the Children, acrylic, a reminder of evening sun in Tenerife.




Strand Street, watercolour, of Youghal.




The old railway signal house, in watercolour.




Wave Breaking, acrylic, perhaps a view toward the Easter Point though I decided to leave out the trees on the headland!



Wash, acrylic, along the beach at the Front Strand Youghal.



The Goat, acrylic, painted on site from the long grass on the cliff. I like this because it seems 'rough' but it catches a lot.



Evening Front Strand, Acrylic.

And some more...

Only learning

Life is about learning and 'I'm only lern'in this bloggin' thing'. Anyway here's a few pictures that may be of interest.

This is titled 'Dazzling' and looks toward Cliff's house and Youghal Bay.

The same morning looking up upriver from the bridge. 'Mist clearing'.

And for something completely different, a watercolour entitled 'Nightlines'.

Enough for now.

The Lost Archives

The Lost Archives is a link to my old old website which is years old. It contains painting long gone from me. It's great to have a record of the picture I so enjoyed working on. Some themes are; the street , flowers, nautical.
