Original "Thatching" Achill Island County Mayo Original Framed Painting

£320.00
Achill Island is a study from a simple black and white photograph shrouded with gentle memories of the past. Three small figures thatch and finish off a stark image of a cottage which overlooks waters of the Atlantic. Unique to Achill is Heffernan’s unique style of producing a larger painting full of intimate details to build up a larger image, taking a botanical illustrative approach to painting.

Produced in gouache and coloured by eye, this painting has a sense of loss and memory evoked in the choice of colours selected by Heffernan as a nod to the fading memories of the past - this painting is a recalling to the past identities of ancestors, and the fragments of history which have informed our own modern identities.

Framed with glass insert within a wooden MDF frame.
