The Essence of Mount Leinster
Oil on Canvas
100cm x 35cm
In Slip Frame Ready to Hang
This painting was an abandoned commission - my first - of the view to Mount Leinster. I must have gone through 3 canvasses - abandoning each one in turn as I found it impossible to get the tension between sensation and representation correct. I found the canvas in a studio move. And as is so often the case, when i wasn't really trying, it more or less painted itself.
