Still Waters, Kinvara

Oil on canvas

Size: 48x30x1

This 2018 oil painting captures the moody charm of Kinvara, a coastal village in Galway, Ireland. A solitary boat floats in calm, textured waters, anchored against a backdrop of soft light and muted tones. On the distant shore, the silhouette of Dunguaire Castle rises, partially illuminated, adding a sense of history and quiet presence. The sky stretches wide and heavy, echoing the stillness below. With thick, expressive brushstrokes and an earthy palette, the piece conveys the peace and isolation often felt along Ireland’s western coast.
