I am working at the moment on a series of paintings based on an abandoned boat.The boat is situated in westport quay co mayo.I came accross it by chance and was instantly excited by its weather beaten aging beauty.In each painting i try to explore a small section of this boat.I want to show how time and nature can alter and create something new and beautiful in things we have overlooked and cast aside.I am facinated by colour and felt inspired by the textures and colours in this old decaying boat.I hope to capture in paint just a little piece of what nature has created.These are the first 3 in the series.
