Irish boat art drawing of two Galway Hooker boats in the harbour, Kinvara, Ireland. A unique coastal seascape in mainly black and white.
Two Galway Hookers sailing through Kinvara harbour as the sun began to set.
We were at the Cruinniunam Bad Festival held every year in Kinvara to celebrate these beautiful boats.
Their sails, made from calico were covered in a solution made from tree bark or a tar and butter mix. This would protect and weatherproof them, known as ‘barking the sails’, giving Galway Hookers their distinctive red coloured sails.
I love the bright red colour of their sails and wanted to celebrate them in this, and other, artworks.
This is an original charcoal drawing, created by hand and inspired by the boats in the harbour in Kinvara, Ireland.
Working in charcoal allows me to focus on light, texture and atmosphere, capturing a sense of place in a simple, expressive way.
This smaller piece is ideal if you’re looking for an original artwork that is easy to display or gift.
Each drawing is unique and part of an ongoing exploration of landscape through mark-making and tone.
Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a small piece to bring a sense of the landscape into your home.
The original Irish boat art drawing measures approximately 19cm (H) x 19cm (W).
Unframed:- The final artwork is mounted in an acid free mount (10″x10″) and posted out ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.
*Colours/ tones may vary slightly from the photographed work.
Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I create a charcoal drawing first, then a colourful oil pastel painting of the scene. I use both of these to create the fibre landscape from.
