About This Image

There’s just something special about a lonesome road disappearing on the horizon. It’s a type of artwork that I’ve always enjoyed. I love how roads like this one in Connemara lead our eyes through the landscape. And it’s extra special when that landscape feels so utterly wild, wide, and free.

This particular Irish road carries with it my own memories of wandering in Connemara near the village of Leenane. I spent two days there of my month in Ireland. It was the midst of winter, and I was amazed at how beautiful the countryside was. If this is just a taste of Ireland in warmer months, I don’t know how visitors ever go home! There was definitely a part of me that wanted to melt into the woodwork of rural Ireland and never leave.

On top of being a great tool for leading the eye into an image, that lonesome road is a great metaphor. It speaks of the path we travel in life. It’s the present and the unknown future in one print. Interestingly I have noticed more than a handful of winding road images in my time in Ireland. That may well have been subconscious as I had just made a big life decision and was looking into what felt like murky but wonderful waters at the time.

A bit less symbolically this landscape print may feel familiar to those who have hiked in the Irish west. The wet roads remind me of the misting rain that came and went as the sky full of clouds reminds me of the constantly changing weather. Each moment I walked brought me new variations in lighting, a veritable kaleidoscope of landscape photo opportunities… Is it any wonder I want to return?

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.
