Below You can see selection of works that gives me joy and smile. Recently I do enjoy watercolor medium. Prior to watercolor , for many years , I did focus on drawing form , still life, human anatomy, landscape, perspective. I still practice it !
Hopefully you enjoy pictures below, and see you soon in life drawing class !
Painting this one was different than any of my earlier paintings. I painted it with relatively small effort. I had so much relaxed painting process . Reason for that could be I was painting for several consecutive days at that time . Took me about 2 hours I would say
56 x 76 cm- I was tired of the small sizes and Afraid of the big one . Somehow this time I conquered the Full Sheet . Painted it in beautiful sunny days in Howth.
1 session 2 hours - this one was only warm up on low quality paper it turns out into something I like. Painted it in beautiful sunny Spring days 2023 in Howth.

10 session, total 30 hours - this one piece was for someone who wanted the CITIUS fences to be important subject of the painting . Idea was initially against what I knew ART IS. Against my perception of art . For me it was BIG NO , to think about some road works fences to be vital part of drawing = )
She was the owner of the CITIUS business .
1 session 3 hours - sometimes when Im fed up with reality I would go fantasy in my favourite Clontarf spot. Above and below pictures.
Repetitive drawing in the same spot pushed me
to add on here and there some abstractive shapes.
Picture above and below is one bigger piece drawing . I did some experiment with the camera to observe the perspective for my future works
