A ship at sea I did as a study. When I was learning to draw I reproduced orter artists work.THe orgional belongs to someone else.

I did this mostly from the imagination.The perspective is a bit off,but I still like it. Its of a peat bog in Ireland. A peat bog is similare to a marsh except the mud or soil solidifys, and then it can be cut for fuel.

This is eleven years old and I did it with pitt pens.

A landscape that I did about my father while he was alive. He was a sheep farmer and he planted tress on his hill farm.This is done in memory of him as he died from cancer.Its a finished piece and based on sketches I did. Its an acrylic painting and 1/10 in a body of work.

A scene from where I live.The origional photo for this is taken from within a huge wildlife reserve. I should do more plaine air work but the weather in Ireland is not that predictable.

A study I did a long time ago of another artists ink drawing.

A piece I did for a book about my life.

This is an origional piece I did from my own photo. It is a pen and ink drawing depicting the wild nature of the place.

I studied this with the pot in front of me. At this point I lacked the ability to express myself.I did this a long time ago.

This is a piece I did about those who suffer from severe mental health probems.I sold it and now its in a private collection.

How I feel sometimes, I think a lot of people are like this at the moment.

One of the first paintings I ever did. At this stage I was consumed by sketching.

I hope I have got the atmosphere of the town across.

This is a reproduction study only of a very famous Monet piece. I am not selling this. I learned how to do art according to the traditional methods of studying great masterpieces. I did this in soft pastel,but the origional is done in oil I think.

This is a simple study I did out of fun.The origional belongs to some one else.

Most of the first six years of doing art, I used pencil. This took me about 10 - 12 hours of work.Most of the work was on the different tones of the tea pot.

This is the first canvas in the work.Its based on a sketch I did. I did five pieces, and this is #1.It is a self portrait.The reason for three figures is that it is meant to repersent motion.

This landscape is a finished work, and is designed to relax those who are weighed down by work.It is of an Irish Berry Field. I did it mostly from imagination, but I did use some photo reference to get the background right.

I am gaining an interest in figure drawing from the imagination. Drawing a figure is like craving a away at a block of granit. You make many atempts to get the figure right.

This dipicts what is inside of me.

An old lime kilin.These were used to make fertiliser for farming, before the introduction of chemical fertilisers. They made lime out of burnt charcoal.They are not used any more.
