'Attempting To Launch The Curragh' was a commission piece for a dear old lady who was celebrating her 90th birthday.
She had a passion for the work of Irish artist Paul Henry and her favourite painting was entitled 'Launching The Curragh', which was a view from Achill Island in the west of Ireland.
I wanted to give her something unique, not just a copy of the painting, so I worked on a more personalised version by adding in her three grandchildren.
She was delighted with it, her first original painting.

'Attempting To Launch The Curragh' By Irish Artist Maria Noonan-McDermott
Labels:
Maria Noonan-McDermott,
Original Irish Art
Maria Noonan-McDermott's work is highly original; her creative and imaginative one-off pieces ensure her reputation for innovative and inspiring artwork that is eminently collectable and truly unique.
Maria currently works from her studio in Co. Leitrim. She has been painting for over twenty years and is well established and respected having contributed successfully to many gallery and public exhibitions throughout her career.
Her work, she says,
"...is about searching for the ultimate statement through colour and form, giving her paintings a voicebox for the inner soul we all possess, spiritual and mysterious."
Her style is distinctly recognisable as she paints with knife, confidently applying layer upon layer, enhancing the quality of light and movement and allowing the texture of the paint to play a key role in the structure of her work.
On show her paintings demand attention, grip the imagination and reward the curiosity of our senses.
