Irish Landscape Painting - Atlantic Coast Achill Island

This is my latest painting, done using a reference photo taken by my sister while travelling in Achill, Mayo. Those who have been to Achill Island, they will perhaps have driven the Atlantic Coast route which really is breathtaking and full of scenery like this. The photo I used was taken in grey overcast conditions with low cloud so I have had to do a lot of colour changes. I will leave it up to you to judge the outcome, so comments and criticisms are welcome. This is a larger painting than usual for me, 24 x 18 inches, on canvas. I will continue to work on some larger sizes for the foreseeable future as I haven't done so in the past and want to see how they look. To see this painting larger scroll down this page to my gallery below. That's it for now and enjoy it. I will be working on something new fairly soon...
