About This Image

There’s an amazing variety of beautiful artwork in cemeteries. This is particularly true of older cemeteries like Dublin’s Glasnevin where I found this Irish angel. In that golden afternoon sun, there was a truly ethereal and delicate quality to the light. I loved how the sunlight was picking out the details in this Irish angel statue. It was almost as if those lights and shadows were illustrating just how detailed the craftsmanship was. Look at the details in her wings and the gentle flow of her hair (and the star upon it). Even her drape feels as if you could reach out and grasp its soft folds.

I’ve found that to be a quality of older cemeteries. The statuary and general quality of those old monuments is rarely second rate. These were after all memorials to people’s loved ones. They represented a final farewell to show how much they meant to the people they left behind. That means this beautiful Irish angel is truly a beautiful celebration of someone’s life and their beliefs.

There was something about those cool blue skies and the warm sunlight striking the weathered Irish angel that already had a vintage quality to it. It reminded me of classic color photos and I decided to go with that feeling. The result is a classic Irish Angel print. Between the vintage colors and the delicate light on that Irish winter afternoon, this print has a wonderful spirit. Don’t you feel a zen sort of peace as you gaze at that gentle, dare I say, angelic, face?

Can you picture this Irish angel print in your life?

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.
