Inspired by Ireland

This piece is part of our 'Inspired by Ireland' series.

A walk through the hills and forests of Ireland is to be constantly surprised. There is a serenity and beauty that opens us up to the landscape around us. As in life, when we find our own path, it will lead us home.

This painting was inspired by the forests of Ireland. There is something magical about forests. When the light streams in through the shadows it is reminiscent of stained glass and brings with it a sense of wisdom and peace.

There is a beautiful poem called 'Lost' by American poet David Wagoner which captures the nature of life and the feeling we may all experience when lost among the trees.

Inspired by the Irish woodlands.

When painting this forest scene, David Wagoner’s poem ‘Lost’ came to mind.

The poem speaks about feeling lost when in fact all we need to do is be still, honour our feeling but not to let it encompass us. The forest knows where we are just as good friends know when we despair.

I find light filtering through the trees very emotive. The sense that even though we are deep within a forest, the light will find find us and guide us.

Be still, listen and open your heart.

Mount Errigal rises above the rich landscape of Donegal. Like all mountains it has a unique personality. It's sheer size shapes the skyline yet it is connected to and dependent on the lowlands to shine.

Life and success are no different. It is upon each others shoulders that we all rise.

The sea, stretching out to the horizon, possesses a voice that calls us to consider the endless possibilities that life has to offer each and every one of us. There is a sailor in all of us, waiting to discover our own potential and possibility. We wish you well on your personal voyage.

The Irish landscape is quilted in a rich tapestry of beautiful flowers. The colours are as rich and as varied as the people who inhabit the island.

No-one has to tell a flower to bloom. It just does. Likewise, we don't permission form anyone to burst into full blossom. Worth remembering that!

I grew up listening to the Percy French song ‘Mountains of Mourne’. It’s an evocative song and when you visit the Mourne Mountains you can see why.

This painting tries to capture the natural beauty of the area which, one would understandably miss if living far away. The title for the piece comes from the Clifford T Ward song of the same name.

The bridge leading into Trim, Co. Meath is regarded as the oldest bridge still in use in Ireland. What attracted me to it, besides its beautiful architecture, was the sense of people returning. The bridge gives a strong sense of being welcomed home. In the crossing we find ourselves back at our source.
