SMALL THINGS, BEAUTIFULLY SEEN

An Exhibition of Twenty Original Oil Paintings on Paper

OPEN FOR TWO EVENINGS ONLY

Sometimes the simplest things make the most beautiful paintings.

I’m delighted to invite you to Small Things, Beautifully Seen, an exhibition of twenty original oil paintings, bringing together an intimate collection of landscapes and still lifes, each measuring 8 × 11 inches.

Painted in oils on textured specialist art paper, these works celebrate the beauty to be found in everyday objects and familiar places. From the quiet charm of a still life to the changing light and atmosphere of the landscape, each painting seeks to capture something essential – a fleeting impression, an intriguing arrangement of shapes, a particular quality of light or the expressive possibilities of colour.

My approach is direct and spontaneous. Working alla prima, I complete each painting in a single sitting, embracing the freshness and immediacy of the process. I enjoy the challenge of simplifying what I see, stripping away unnecessary detail and allowing the brushwork, colour and character of the paint to speak for themselves.

Small in scale, but rich in character, these are original paintings, individually conceived and hand-painted in my Dublin studio. Each is intended to be enjoyed in its own right: a distinctive little piece of art that can bring warmth, colour and personality to a home.

All twenty paintings will be available to purchase. This is an opportunity to discover and acquire an original oil painting directly from the artist, perhaps finding that one particular painting that feels as though it was made just for you.

I’d love you to join me, take a closer look and enjoy an evening surrounded by paintings, conversation and a shared appreciation of the art of seeing.
