Paintings from Sea and coast is a collection I have been working on over a number of years, reflecting images of my traves in a Naomhóg ( a West Kerry currach). Taking part in a sea journey from Dublin to Santiago de Compostela was a profound and inspiring experience. The adventure was fimed in a documentary film “The Camino Voyage”.
Paintings are like journeys for me. One of the most challenging parts of composing a painting is reaching the moments of uncertaintity. IT’s the line between giving up or struggling on, somewhat similar to what I experienced on these naomhóg voyages. I don’t consider my paintings to be ever finished, but rather ongoing expressions.
