Summer Cow, Cliff Walk Kilkee Co Clare, (2020)

16″ (41cm) x 12″ (30.5cm) – original work – acrylic
unframed canvas

Ruth Wood is one of Clare’s most established and celebrated artists. Perhaps best known for her pen & ink and watercolour paintings of buildings and landscapes, she is also sought after for her original acrylics on canvas (always exciting when we get them in). This latest piece ‘Summer Cow’ is a true beauty; indicative of Wood’s signature painting style, her radiant colour palette and her lust for nature. It is also a beautifully familiar sight on our West Clare roadsides in the Summer.

Ruth says of this painting,… “This painting reflects early summer life in west Clare. In the foreground the foliage becomes a pattern of light-coloured new growth- ferns, nettles and brambles are complimented by the pink of the willow herb. The cow in the middle ground is delighted to be out of the slatted shed for the bright summer months. The Atlantic sea and sky blend together in the background”.
