  A commission from last year - a portrait of Emily Anderson (1891-1962) for the Emily Anderson Concert Hall (formerly Aula Maxima Upper) at NUI Galway. Only one small photograph exists of her as an adult. She was an authority on Mozart and Beethoven and translated their correspondence. She was also the first Professor of German at University College Galway (now NUI Galway).

  Five months ago I didn't even know what a Victorian bathing machine was... I created two versions, one in coloured pencils, placed on a flat background, for the invites and for use on the web, and one in acrylics for the poster and programmes. Prints of these will be available soon.  This is a recent commission, a painting of the Quadrangle at NUI Galway, a building I pass several times a week when the University is my workplace. It is acrylics and measures 30 x 40cm. I was asked to include autumn colours in the trees in addition to the red ivy on the building, and there are some specks of gold and copper paint in there among the reds, oranges and burnt sienna. |
