"The Beatles Rooftop"
"The Beatles Rooftop" - famous image of the Beatles performing an unannounced concert on January 30th 1969 from the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters, central London.
I was commissioned by my brother a crazy Beatles fan to paint the image in my own style. This is the biggest painting (20"x30") I have ever taken on and took 20+ hrs (stopped counting after 20 🤫). I really enjoyed painting the subject and to this scale and would love to keep the painting for myself 😀 but its heading to its new home in northern Ireland. Its off to the framing shop now. I hope you all like it.

"Josh Murphy, Connacht Rugby"
Delighted to share a recent commission that I painted of Enniscorthy RFC under age player Josh Murphy in action for Connacht against the Sharks. Connacht erased a 20-point half-time deficit to defeat the Hollywoodbets Sharks 36-30 in a tussle at Dexcom Stadium on the 28th of September, 2024.
Josh Murphy joined Connacht ahead of the 2022/23 season from Leinster where he made 61 appearances for the province. A tough tackling forward, Josh can play either in the second row or as blindside flanker.

"Charlie and Tiger"
"Charlie and Tiger" - Acrylic paint on canvas.
I painted this portrait of Charlie and his best friend Tiger for a recent submission to a portrait competition. Unfortunately the painting was not shortlisted on this occasion however I really enjoyed painting the portrait and was grateful to Charlie for giving me permission to paint his portrait from a photo taken by photographer Fran Veale.
What an amazing man Charlie is, what he has done for Irish Motor Neuron Disease and Pieta House raising 3.2 million in much needed funds through the climbwithcharlie climb of Croagh Patrick on April 2nd while dealing with the impact of Motor Neuron himself.

"Fr Peter McVerry"
"Fr Peter McVerry" - Acrylic Paint on Canvas Board.
I recently watched the RTE series "Keys to My Life" featuring Fr Peter McVerry looking back at all of places he lived throughout his life. I was aware of Peter and the work he was doing but the programme really got me interested in finding out more. As a result i decided to paint his portrait and I'm happy with how it turned out.
What unbelievable work this man has done and continues to do for homelessness in Dublins inner city and beyond devoting his whole life helping others in extreme circumstances battling social injustice.
“Everyone, just by virtue of being a human being, has the right to sufficient resources to enable them to survive and live a dignified human life, and a right to be respected and valued by others.” Fr Peter McVerry

"Choctaw Nation"
"Choctaw Nation" - Acrylic Paint on Canvas Board
The Choctaw Nation are an Native American Indian Tribe who have a close and long relationship with Ireland dating back to 1847 when they sent $170 to the Irish people during the Geat Famine despite the Choctaw people themselves living in hardship and poverty and having recently endured the Trail of Tears where they were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to newly designated Indian Territory in what's Oklahoma today.
A sculpture "Kindered Spirits" located in Midleton, Co. Cork was unveiled in 2017 and commemorates the 1847 donation by the Native American Choctaw People to the Irish people.
A sculpture "Eternal Heart" honoring the relationship between the Choctaw Nation and the people of Ireland was also erected in 2023 on the Choctaw Capitol grounds in Tuskahoma, Oklahoma.

This is a recent commission of an iconic movie from 1987 about two out-of-job actors who travel to the English countryside to spend a weekend with their uncle. But they soon end up getting into enough trouble to put them off the idea of visiting the area again. Very funny movie.
This is the largest piece I have painted to date.

"Shane, Sinead & Christy"
"Shane, Sinead & Christy" - Acrylic Paint on Canvas
New painting recently completed and a contender for inclusion in the Annual Askamore Art Exhibition opening on Wednesday 20th of November.
I have been wanting to paint the three for some time - Shane MacGowan, Sinead O'Connor and Christie Dignam so delighted with how it turned out. This painting was inspired by the An Phost stamps recently released to commemorate Iconic Irish Voices.
Three very talented Irish singers and songwriters that we sadly lost in 2023.
