Bangers and Mash, 24x20x1.5, Acrylic Painting, ready to hang, Canvas, Landscape
"Bangers and Mash”, a one of a kind painting depicting a whimsical and fairylike impression of a meadow in the Irish countryside. Distance warps the perspective into a foggy, misty scene from a personal hike several years back across the fields of County Galway. Maybe some sheep, maybe some cows or horses, maybe some meadow flowers or the end of season tall grasses blowing in the wind. Clouds warp the crisscrossing of grey stones that fade into the horizon. The countless lines of walls, each meticulously laid, softly folded up by the Irish clouds.
Thoughts of my Grandmother, whose roots trace back to Ireland, overtook my mind and became the inspiration for this large abstract series. “There were days, with Heaven so low, I was sure I could reach up and poke a hole in it and hold her hand again.”
The fantasy palette includes a selection of peach, taupe, pinks, sunflower golds, lavender, greens and turqoiuse. along with
some dark tones. Additionally a whimsical touch of random embellishments using pastels to highlight and accentuate rolling hills and clouds.
