There was something about the light covering of snow and the way it brought out the deep russety colours of the trees and the earth that seemed to capture the magic in the unusual spring weather in Kerry this year and even though the picture was taken in February it...

I looked down our valley at sunset one evening and almost burst out laughing. Not the usual sort of response I have to sunsets, more times then not it’s a lump in the throat with the beauty of it all. What was amusing me about this sunset was the way the...

I really liked the way the dark clouds almost mirrored the dark silhouette of the valley and how the two compress the orange of the sunset and make it more vibrant. The canvas is 8.5″ X 8.5″ x 1.5″ inches, or 22cm x 22cm x 3.5cm Larger versions can...

We arrived into thick Dublin traffic on a rainy night in December. After hours of free flowing driving it was strange to be stuck in one spot not moving. The rain got heavier and pretty soon we could hardly see through the windscreen. That’s when I took this...

I took this picture on the way home one day in Kerry. I had the feeling walking into a room after an argument. It was like something had just passed between these two horses because even though the brown horse had its back to the white horse it wasn’t walking...

I took this image while walking with my wife early one morning in St Anne’s park in Clontarf. We were in the football pitches section of the park which is normally full of noisy players and even noisier parents spectating but in the early morning it was all...

I took this image on a crisp night in September. We had just been to see The Strypes and were walking back to our car along the river Liffey. The moon jumped up from behind some buildings and suddenly everything was Van Goughian. The canvas is 8.5″ X 8.5″...
