A Quiet Road

16″(40cm) x 16″(40cm) – measurements include the frame.

Absolutely adore this oil painting by contemporary artist, Delaney Davis. The wonderfully familiar sight, of a quiet rural road, on a wet winters evening, with the typical country farmhouse house and its traditional outbuildings, tucked in right at the roadside. Such a familiar sight for all people growing up in rural Ireland, we love the honest details Davis brings to her work, from the water logged potholes, to the overhead wires.

Drawn to architecture and objects, and painting streetscapes, there is such a fascinatingly honest and authentic feel to Delaney’s work. She likes to choose locations and subjects that are generally overlooked by most of us going through our busy days. She sees beauty in the, perhaps, less obvious features, in the darkness, in the shadows sometimes, and even the industrial, from roadsides, to overhead wires to alleyways. Her work is wonderfully contemporary and fantastically collectable. Any of Delaney’s paintings would look superb in either a super, contemporary, modern space – as well as being equally charming in a cosy office or study or traditional living space.

Most definitely a ‘one to watch’ artist.
