A work in progress – oil & oil pastel on canvas, 30×24". 

This is a small waterfall I discovered amidst the woods in the Slieve Bloom mountains, in Co. Offaly. I don’t know how successful my efforts at landscape are. I think a painting should say more than “here’s this thing I saw.” But I don’t know if these do. I’m finding it hard to articulate what it feels like to be here, alive in the world, and looking at Stuff. It feels good.
