Sorting Fishing Nets as the Fishermen gather round to prepare for the evening catch!

Frequent travels to the west coast of Ireland are always a pleasure.

No matter what time of year I visit, there is always something different to see, a different light, changing hues, and the wild Atlantic continues to battle its way to our shores.

Visits to wonderful coastlines such as Dogs Bay and Gurteen just outside the picturesque small fishing village of Roundstone, Co. Galway are particularly special.

This painting is a reflection of one of those special moments when I saw fishermen assemble to prepare for the evening catch – the silhouettes against the evening sky create a touch of mystery!
