Calmest Dingle, Ireland

"Calmest dingle" captures the powerfully dark sky as the moody clouds approach the land. The indigo land reflects into the estuary which transforms what is typically a paradisiacal scene on a calm day into a vivid reminder of the transient nature of weather.

As the artist, I aimed to convey this dramatic transformation through a mixed media abstract painting. I used flow techniques and layered various media to create depth and energy, resulting in a dynamic and immersive experience. To enhance the authenticity and tactile quality of the piece, I incorporated real seashells and driftwood collected from the beach itself.

The artwork is presented on cotton rag paper with raw edges exposed, adding an organic and unfinished touch. Encased in a 3D shadow frame, the piece gains additional space, allowing the textures and elements to stand out and invite closer inspection. This presentation not only protects the artwork but also accentuates its layered complexity, offering viewers a deeper connection to the powerful and ever-changing nature of coastal landscapes.

Signed by the artist, this abstract art piece would look amazing against a white or Hague Blue wall, bringing a little piece of an Irish holiday home to your walls.
