Emerald Isle

Acrylic on board with black frame
1220mm x 920mm 
 
This painting serves as a vibrant homage to Ireland, a land steeped in mystery, legends, and the timeless allure of magic.
 
Layers of emerald tones intertwine, forming what appear to be islands amidst a sea of foliage. They serve as a symbolic representation of familial lineage, akin to the intricate branches of a family tree. Some islands remain connected, their roots intertwined in a shared heritage that stretches back through generations. Others, however, appear adrift, their colors slightly altered, hinting at the diaspora of Irish immigrants who ventured far from their ancestral homeland. 
 
Emerald Isle beckons the viewer deeper into the rich tapestry of stories and myths that enshroud the Emerald Isles, inviting exploration and discovery into the hidden realms where magic dances on the wind and ancient legends whisper secrets to those who listen.
