Across the Drumlins – Original Northern Ireland Landscape Painting, 51x51cm in Deluxe Black Frame

Description

Across the Drumlins is an original landscape painting by Kathryn Callaghan, taking in one of Northern Ireland’s awe-inspiring views. Inspired by a local walking route through Killynether Wood, part of Scrabo Country Park, this beautifully vibrant scene takes in County Down’s naturally rolling landscape, across miles of farmland and smallholdings toward the magnificent Mourne Mountains. Kathryn knows this route well, often walking it with her dog – who is well used to pausing to take in an inspiring view!

The rolling drumlins are captured here in a fresh palette of greens, with purple and blue shades illustrating the myriad cropfields that stretch across the land. The sky, beyond the shady mountains, is lit up in a fire of orange and purple, and all of this colour is elegantly held by a beautiful Deluxe Black Frame.

As a part of our Miniatures Collection, this is a great way to own an original Kathryn Callaghan painting that will fit easily into any space, for less than you might expect.

What makes an original painting by Kathryn unique?

Kathryn uses a unique pouring technique to create her paintings, which creates a contact-free approach to making her artwork.  Black ink is mixed with gel to create a new material which offers a new and unusual finish.  The mix is poured from mid-air from an open neck bottle – much like pouring honey onto toast or olive oil onto bread.  The finish is a textured, glossy image set against a smooth white board. Her newest series of paintings takes a step further by including a serene gradient background to the main subject of the piece, lifting the florals to life.

With no sketch underneath the painting, this freeform technique allows Kathryn to create truly original, organic pieces that are full of life and energy.  The result is captivating and often evocative of how we feel about the subject in our minds.  It is this ‘feeling’ that Kathryn strives to achieve through her work that gives it such resonance with collectors far and wide.
