Towards the Maam Turks



Towards the Maam Turks - Oil on Panel - 12"x8" - sold

The vista from my bedroom window in Roundstone, Connemara was inspiring. This landscape painting was based on a view of the Maam Turks mountain range which was straight across the bay from my vantage point. During the mornings and evenings I had been watching this view and how the colours and light fell and reflected.

Sketching first - I zoomed in, simplified, and when satisfied with the overall shapes and composition I began to work vigorously with a limited palette of three colours.
