Is knitting allowed please? A long time professional here and sometimes an order comes in for something very fine and very complicated.

The Christening Robe is in fine lace.. I made a few and one is now in a Museum in Canada, on an antique doll..

sorry no. . It is a fine hand knitted lace in 2 ply yarn, incredibly effective and delicate.

Haha! Thank you! I've just seen this on the computer screen rather than the phone...I'll have to take a better photo of the drawing. That's ^^^ a crappy, slightly out of focus phone pic :rolleyes:

Here's a few of my paintings from over the past 14 years
A memorial for a colleagues dog

A nice photo I found, made a lovely picture

My brother's in-laws had a family home in Manchester being sold, so they wanted something to remember the place by. There was nothing exceptional about the house, but I thought I could make a triptych that would embody the lives spent there. Worked out okay.

A friend came back from Malta with a lovely spontaneous shot of their kids, thought it would make a cracking painting.

And when I was dropping it off I noticed this on the wall, another painting of Malta I had done some ten years previously!

CiDeRmAn · 29-04-2019 9:06am

I do see the limits of my painting, and hope to get better, we shall see.

beauf · 29-04-2019 10:22am

Your palette of colours is especially pleasant.

My favourite is the Manchester house. Seems nostalgic. Not entirely sure why.

CiDeRmAn · 29-04-2019 7:10pm

I try to strongly limit the palette, making it all just fit, if you know what I mean.

As for the house, that was the idea.

I have done comissions of house portraits before, and here tried something a little different, to try and capture not just an image or representation of the house but also those aspects that good memories are made from, playing in the back garden, the lane-way to the back of the house, the arriving facing the front door, those things that turn it from a place to live in and into a home.
The customer was pretty happy with it, if very reluctant to pay for it!
I had to fight to get the few bob for it!

CiDeRmAn · 30-04-2019 3:51pm

Just finished this one the other day,

Kensoren · 19-06-2019 3:15pm

Great artwork, you're very talented!

CiDeRmAn · 07-08-2019 8:28am

For the same buyer as my last one, this is Trinity College, Dublin.
Certainly, the last time I'm painting with this much grey!

My latest work in progress.

Nessel · 26-08-2019 10:41pm

Bit nervous posting here for the first time as everyone is so good. I've just finished this piece. It took forever and had real life references for everyone. Lineart made digitally and coloured with copic markers.

Excellent. I'm brutal at drawing but just love looking and so envious of the works of those with talent. I really admire those who enter the Texaco Art Comp for instance. From 9 to 90 brilliant work.
Just like those portrayed here.

CiDeRmAn · 20-09-2019 5:07am

Two recent ones painted in the last week
This one of Skerries Harbour

CiDeRmAn · 20-09-2019 5:08am

And this one of Rush Harbour

Some serious painting there. How long do they take to do.

Not terribly long, possibly about 10/12 hours each.
Sometimes they can take a lot longer but these just seemed to work out quickly.

The new owners are very happy!

NoviGlitzko · 20-09-2019 9:26am

They're absolutely fantastic Ciderman. Great eye for colour and technique.

CiDeRmAn · 20-09-2019 9:33am

I'll take the compliment about colour but I have zero technique!
Terrible, no training, just splodges and smears!

CiDeRmAn · 20-09-2019 11:50am

You're all very kind.
I've about seven canvases awaiting paint within the next couple of months.
I was getting a bit down, thinking it would take me weeks and weeks per picture, but now I'm a little more confident I can get the work done in a smaller timeframe.
I'll post them as they are done.

Wolff · 28-09-2019 3:49pm

First time post - have been painting now for a about 2 years - finally getting to place that's my own particular style - Paul Henry is always in the picture somewhere !

beauf · 28-09-2019 3:56pm

Cool

Wolff · 28-09-2019 3:57pm

Another 2 recently finished

The plan was to replace all the existing pictures in the house with my own

I was too cheap to go out and buy them!

beauf · 28-09-2019 4:02pm

There's a stained glass quality to them. Very dramatic.

Are you based in Connemara?

Wolff · 28-09-2019 4:13pm

And one more of the Skelligs - which are a great subject to paint

Wolff · 28-09-2019 4:15pm

@Simms - No based in Co Meath - hence the need for some drama I think

I have had a look back at some of the amazing paintings and drawings here including your own really quite excellent work and what a collection they make !

Hmm, not that sure.
I think if I could really paint, and like you I love to paint the sea, I would paint like you.
They are sublime.
