Back in the studio in Cork, running between biblical rain storms and sunny gardening. I love working in the studio in all weathers. Here I have space to work , particularly on large landscapes and view everything in comfort. Painting is not work for me as I love it…….I like to experiment and try out different techniques and ideas with no restrictions about producing a finished piece of work.
Trends from instagram in home decor and art and the general economy all influence the market place. One thing I have learned over the years is not to get too confident about a really good year or on the other extreme a slow year….in other words it all balances out ……All I know is to keep challenging myself and aim to produce the best art I can……i ask myself…’ Would I hang this on my wall’?….I’ve learnt to mix it up a bit and experiment….If I am not inspired it wont work! I also not afraid to scrap those canvases which I’m not 100% happy with. Waiting for influence doesn’t always work.. turn up and have a go and see what emerges, often surprising results come from experiment. We all have days when nothing works but then its often matched by a day that everything flows……
