Oil and cold wax on board with palette knife. This is first in my series of 'Old Ireland' featuring the Galway Shawl captured in an expressive way using bold colour.
I love looking at old black and white photographs and trying to re-imagine them through bold colour. I really wanted to paint this one as I was curious about what the girls were talking about it reminded me of when we meet up with our own friends and family and how precious that time is I think we all look forward to a time we can meet up again like this sharing the good the bad and the ugly. It’s what friends are for. It’s a fun and quirky piece created to put a smile on your face.
