Hello, my name is David Corkery,
and I'm a doodle addict. Ireland Plus

I am an outsider artist from the Republic Of Ireland. My art is Schizophrenic in nature. Thats why my style is not static but evolving all the time. My paintings are so different from each other, but they are mine. I could not tolerate turning out the same idea, over and over,again. I am not selling my art pieces publicly at the moment, but only privetly. I have a lot of work displayed, because I have been doing art for the last eleven years. I would be grateful for any feedback or comments.Thank you.

I specialize in painting.

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.

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.

The Renewing Of The Dead Tress/In memory of my father that I loved.

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.

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 eleven years old and I did it with pitt pens.

From the body of work entitledThe Sheep Are Following Me.

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.

Drawing from the imaginaation #4/The Face

I am working on the face.This must be my third attempt.Their is something refreshing and natural about working from the imagination,only.This is done in ink.

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.

I tried to use my imagination for this, but I had to fall back on photo reference, to finish it. THe problem with the composition is I did not use a background colour. I did this about 3 years ago. Their are mountains in the background.

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.

A study of another artists work. All rights to the origional artist.

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

This is inspired from the the soundtrack to Gladator the film. Its about how most people will end up in some kind of Colosseum, metaphorically speaking. Life will throw at us many problems. A sketch for a body of work. The black cross is a sword buried in the ground. Maybe its a symbol of peace.

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.

Humans with African tribal masks/A sketch.

This is about the stigma associated with mental health problems.A highly experimental sketch on my behalf.I think that these masks repersent the different labels that can be put on these people.

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

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

The future hope of love for my troubled parents.

I think I am improving at this exercise. I keep making mistakes and correcting, which is a good thing.

When you are in this forest, you are lost, until the sun rises again to show the path out of madness. This was one of the first large paintings, that I completed. Its a strange thing because when I was painting it, i distorted the horizon line.The line should be level by right.

A Pen and Ink portrait I did a long time ago.
