The evening light in North West Donegal can be spectacular. As the sun go down, looking across Sheephaven Bay towards Portnablagh and Dunfanaghy is really atmospheric. This view is from the rocky peninsula of Horn Head, accessed by a little road that hugs the Bay just outside Dunfanaghy. SOLD
This rocky headland on the Antrim coast affords spectacular views of the rugged coastline and provides a fantastic place to start a good day’s walking. The small harbour at Portaleen is just visible in the bay. SOLD..

The world famous Giant’s Causeway is located on the North Antrim Coast. It is by far the most popular destination for visitors to our shores. The basalt columns and hexagonal rock populate the whole area ,well worth a closer look.

This tranquil limestone harbour is at the end of a twisty little road on the North Antrim Coast. The fishing industry here has diminished but its popularity has increased. This is largely due to ‘Game of Thrones’ ………it’s now a site on the film location trail. I think I prefer it as a quiet little bay, somewhere to paddle.
Original watercolour painting 20 × 14 inches approx.
Galway bay in the west of Ireland opens out into the Atlantic Ocean. The rural cottages dot the coast line as you head out of the city centre. The Galway coast and countryside boasts many beautiful, unspoiled locations, more than enough to keep any artist or nature lover happy.
