About This Image

The night before I was to head out to the Aran Islands, a deep freezing fog set on Galway.For days straight, each morning had been foggy, but on this particular day, the fog simply never broke, and by nightfall, the streets were rolling in a deep fog. And, so I sat out into the cold night air and immensely enjoyed the ethereal air of Galway in a fog.

At the end of that long ramble, I ended up down on the Claddagh. The fog was, down by the waterfront, even thicker but the old street lights cast an amazing glow through the foggy night. As I turned around to head back into the city center, I chanced upon this little old man wandering up the Claddagh path towards the bridge over the Corrib.

There was something about him that captured my imagination. Any other time of the day, who knows if I would have noticed him, but ambling in the deep fog, he was suddenly a mystery. My suspicion of course is that he was simply heading home from the market, bags at hand with the night’s meal.

I really feel this phantom figure in the dense fog leaves the viewer of this image to wonder. We don’t know his story. Where was he going? Good deeds? Bad deeds? A simple trip home from the shops? Clandestine meeting? Dinner with friends?

With only this print as a witness, it’s up to the viewer to guess the deeper story that may exist.

All we know for sure is that on a small path on the Claddagh in a deep winter fog in Galway, a little old man passed quietly. His purpose, his frame of mind, or any other details are only our imaginings. And what do you imagine?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
