Original oil painting by celebrated Limerick artist ‘Gillian Kenny Shinnors’.

‘Relaxing by the Sea’ – imbues a feeling of light hearted happiness – lazy, sunny afternoons, lying against the warm wood of the boats – one of life’s special moments, depicted vividly in oils by this extraordinary artist.

Taking her inspiration from the ‘affectionate nostalgia’ of the past; of being on holidays in the West of Ireland – old postcards, sunny days on the beach, the environment, the architecture of the time, the attire, the people – and all these memories being skilfully painted in oils using a colour palette that nods to the really distinct colouration of early Kodachrome photography. Her ability to depict these seemingly every-day moment’s so beautifully and with such a raw, contemporary edge, is remarkable.
