"Bougainvillea Sky" by Lynda Cookson

"Bougainvillea Sky"
A lovely sunny day in Portugal a few years ago ... and that sky really was that blue when I took this photograph! I grew up with a huge ... really old and really big! ... Bougainvillea of this exact shade in KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, so I was tickled to be able to capture my memory so stunningly against the orange deck cover and such an incredibly blue sky. Most definitely one of my favourite photographs.
This image is available as an instant download (just click an image to take you through to the download site).

Big White Flowers

"Big White Flowers" is so fresh and bold. It feels free and full of sunshiny happiness to me.

Just like today ... we have another really beautiful and warm sunny day with clear skies. What ever happened to winter on the coast of Brittany this year I just don't know. I'm sitting here with a cool top on and a thin cardigan, with only one pair of socks to keep my toes warm. Crazy to be so toasty, without a heater on, in what is usually deepest coldest winter.

This painting is immediately downloadable as an image for you to print and you can find it here ... https://www.etsy.com/listing/684216819/big-white-flowers-instant-digital-image?ref=shop_home_active_1


I've also uploaded some room settings for you to see what it'll look like.

Be My Valentine

Another challenge painting (which, funnily enough, I did use a palette knife on when I was moving the paint in the middle of the two big red flowers!) ... watercolour on Yupo Paper.

I find it keeps me fresh to be fiddling with watercolour or a craft object during the palette knife painting of a more formal painting. Otherwise I tend to fiddle with the formal painting and usually ruin it in some way LOL

"Spirit Flowers"

Although mainly an oils painter using palette knives, I love to challenge myself by using other mediums and other tools. Sometimes it works, many times it doesn't ... and sometimes I don't mind you seeing the okay ones.

"Tropical Flowers" by Lynda Cookson

I've recently, because of down-sizing and moving into a much smaller home, destroyed a few of the larger paintings I had in stock. "Tropical Flowers" wasn't one of those! She's hung in my bedroom for a few years now and is going straight back into our new bedroom pretty tout suite!

Irises and Tulips

Each of these Giclee images is 66 cm wide and 44 cm high (about 26" x 17"), printed on canvas and stretched over a wooden frame (like an art canvas).

In short, a Giclee is a high quality print where pigments have been used to print the image instead of inks, giving the final product a life span of a minimum of 100 years instead of 25 years.

On purchase, shipment to a destination in Ireland is included; we will be happy to supply a quote for shipment to any other part of the world.

It is also possible to ship the Giclee to you rolled up in a tube and you can arrange to either have the Giclee stretched or framed, or both. This would be the most reasonably priced option.

Price excluding international shipping : €135

Giclees
Giclees are prints of original paintings which are guaranteed
not to fade for a century or more and are usually
produced in Limited Editions on canvas. Pure pigments
are used to produce the giclee rather than the less
durable inks, used in normal printing methods and
texture reproduction is one of their strongest features.

"Bubble Invasion" €60
Giclee (A3 size)


The Cill Rialaig Collection

This collection of abstracts was inspired during a residency at
Cill Rialaig near Ballinskelligs in Co Kerry. I usually visit
Cill Rialaig in January when the winds are howling and
the sea is pumping with huge white-foamed waves.
The atmosphere conjures up images of the spirits of
people who lived their years ago ... which is how each
painting comes to be named after a former resident of the area.
