The Mournes at Sunset – Original Northern Ireland Landscape Painting, 51x51cm in Deluxe Black Frame

Description

The Mournes at Sunset is an original landscape painting by Kathryn Callaghan, taking in one of Northern Ireland’s most famous views. This painting transports you right to the coast – looking south across the Dundrum Bay toward the formidable Mourne Mountains, lit by a powerful gold and purple sunset.

An inspiring, empowering sight; the Mournes are shaded in soft blues and greens here, while the still lough reflects the lively purple and orange skyscape. An elegant Deluxe Black Frame completes the view, like a window upon the scene.

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.
