I intend on doing more paintings about architecture. It's probably my favorite subject matter. Trinity College is situated promently in the heart of Dublin city and I walk past it almost every day. While it's not the most decorative of buildings out there, there is something awesome about it's entrance and the long facade.

I also made a decision to try another paper. Trinity was done on gray paper and I found the painting getting really dark. It was a struggle to lighten up the facade and the result is a little too yellow. So I'm going shopping tomorrow for some blanc paper!

Updated with 2 new ones. Rock of Cashel and Trinity College. I've always been struck by the dramatic ruin at Cashel. It's a really stunning place to visit. I sort of struggled with some of the foreground, I'm working on a gray paper and I just wasn't getting the brights I desired. However I do feel my composition captured the vertical orientation of the place.

I completed this a month or more ago, finally got around to scanning it and uploading here.

St.Lawrence Gate is major feature here in Drogheda, County Louth. It's a remnant of the old city walls that used to encircle this very old town. Can't believe they let traffic through it.

Now that my wife and I have returned to Ireland from France, I have finally got around to re-visiting this website.

I've finished a couple of paintings, and uploaded this one today.
It's quite large - 2x4 feet (60cm x 120cm). Oil on canvas.
