This oil painting depicts Slemish Mountain in the north of Ireland, rendering the undulating contours of the hillside and grassland through thickly applied impasto and vigorous, rhythmic brushstrokes. Within a palette of high-purity hues blending cool and warm tones, the composition evokes a dynamic atmosphere brimming with tension: swirling cloud patterns in the sky symbolise nature's pulsation and spiritual resonance, while vibrant yellows and greens dancing across the grassy slopes accentuate the season's vitality. Drawing inspiration from Post-Impressionist luminosity and Expressionist emotional release, the work conveys both the majestic spirit of this ancient volcanic landscape and captures the fleeting interplay of light and shadow alongside the surging tides of inner emotion.

This painting takes Belfast City Hall as its central focal point, employing vivid chromatic contrasts and dynamic rhythmic brushwork to explore the dialogue between architectural monumentality and the contemporary urban atmosphere. Executed with impasto and brisk, gestural strokes, the composition draws upon the visual language of Expressionism and Post-Impressionism, interweaving warm oranges with cool blues to construct a vibrant street scene crowned by a resplendent dome. The edifice, illuminated within this interplay of light and shadow, emerges simultaneously as a symbol of historical gravitas and as a nexus of civic vitality and metropolitan tempo. The inclusion of the red double-decker bus and the vertical striations of light further accentuate depth and kinetic movement, situating the work in a liminal space where documentary representation converges with poetic abstraction.

This oil painting depicts the natural landscape of Ghleann Bheatha (Glenveagh) with thick, rhythmic brushstrokes conveying the tension between lake, mountains, and sky. Short, directional strokes create movement, with light and shadow interacting across the water. A contrasting palette of blues, yellows, and oranges expresses the lake’s tranquillity and the earth’s reflection. Using impasto, the paint forms three-dimensional texture, enhancing depth and light effects. The style blends Impressionist light and colour with Expressionist emotion, balancing representation and expression.
