This is a large studio painting based on a plein air I did earlier this year. I laid the paint on in thick impasto strokes to depict the main breaking wave, as I felt it helped to capture the sheer power of it. I can still hear the loud bang every time a wave hit that rock!
Windy Afternoon, Clogher Head

Quality of recessional rendition is first rate. Great foreground strength. Lovely piece.
Thanks Mick. I presume you know that place (about three miles North of Slea Head). It always amazes me how the sea can change so quickly back there. A few days later there were little children in the water!
