Story Behind the Art

“It’s a Long Road That Has No Turning” is a striking oil and cold wax painting that captures the quiet strength and resilience of an elderly woman walking down a weathered lane, barefoot yet unbothered, her face soft with contentment. The textured layers of the painting, built up with palette knife strokes, mirror the tough yet beautiful journey she has travelled—a road marked by hardship, but also by profound inner peace. She moves forward, unhurried, her joy coming from a deep connection to her own skin, unburdened by the weight of life’s struggles. The title, a timeless Irish proverb, speaks to the belief that even in the hardest times, change is inevitable and luck will eventually turn in our favour. This painting honours the generations of women who have walked similar paths, their resilience, grit, and ability to find peace amid hardship, reminding us that, like them, we too can find strength in the journey. This one is part of "The Old Ireland" collection.
