The Galway hooker (Irish: húicéir) was painted at the Hooker festival in Kinvara as the they were coming into the pier. The boats are a traditional fishing boat used in the Islands off the Galway Bay. The strong heavy boat was developed for the strong seas there on the west coast. Its red sail and black hull are a distinctive sight on the high seas around the Aran islands. The painting size is 16x15cm and it has a contemporary double frame so external dimension is 28x27cm.

Oil Painting
I love the medium of oil, it is the smell, the fluidity the layering that gives the richness to the painting. Each layer fuses and gives the color vibrancy that is unique among the oil painting medium. It is equally fantastic as a transparent, opaque and translucent medium that allows me lots of opportunities to paint the country we live in.
