Release of the Artworks
Online, in Q2 2024
I had wished to have an Exhibition around this Project, but so far I have not been able to get a venue or fundings
The Survey
In Summer 2022, I asked my community the following question:
Is there a specific spot or view in Ireland which made you feel in awe of nature?
I received more than 1,200 answers. And I went through each of them. Here are the Top 10 answers:
Cliffs of Moher: 28%
Giant's Causeway: 10%
Glendalough: 4%
Slieve League: 3.1%
Croagh Patrick / Clew Bay: 2.7%
Mourne Mountains: 2.7%
Inishmore / Dun Aengus: 2.5%
Slea Head, Dingle: 2.4%
Burren, co. Clare: 2.4%
Lady's View, co. Kerry: 1.9%
My project is to travel to at least 6 of these locations and to paint Plein Air (=outdoors) from these locations on medium-sized canvases and then paint large canvases from my studios inspired by my Plein Air paintings.
Edit Jan 2024: Originally, I had planned to organize an exhibition "In Awe of Nature" to show this body of work, but I am not sure that it will happen at this stage without significant funds. I have recently decided to release the first few destinations on my website for purchase, as it is the only way today to fund the rest of the project.
This is a big project, and that requires a big budget, the most part being travel expenses and materials.
If you want to help me make this project a reality, you can support me with a donation.
In exchange for your support, you will get access to exclusive content, video calls, perks, discount, early access, etc.
