This painting is I guess a technique study. / I used to write my diary entry’s onto canvas then paint over them. / I had forgotten about how nice it was because you just get lost in the words and it works like a warm up to painting. you can buy this and other orginals from my website www.shannoncrees.com
This painting is very textured and incorporates a little mixed media. / I did it on board which i love because you can work roughly and quickly into the surface. / Blue always symbolizes sorrow for me. / She has a wood grain to her skin and becomes part of the leaves from which the birds are falling. / At this time I was thinking allot about the destruction of the natural environment around us and how much we are part of this moving and growing world. you can buy original paintings from my website www.shannoncrees.com

so excited about balck shirts I had to upload something! Over about 3 hours on a chilli winter night shannon and I filmed the making of this artwork. It is bright and colorful painting that depicts some of the mikoto characters in a fun and cosmic landscape. see this as a time-lapse at mikoto.com.au
This painting was fun as it was the first time I have tried used a spatula. / Can you find the fish? / I love painting over and over the canvas so you get unexpected bits.
This is similar to ‘In bloom’ in that it was an experiment with writing as a sort of creative warm up. / I like to merge the figure and background, so the words continue across her skin. you can buy original paintings from my website www.shannoncrees.com
BEST VIEWED AS A MEDIUM SIZED FRAMED PRINT ON YOUR SITTING ROOM WALL! Drifting all alone on a vast ocean with just myself for company! This is a shot of a cargo vessel heading out from the mouth of the River Shannon across Ballybunion Bay in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The shot was taken with a telephoto lens from Knockanore Mountain (really a large hill) some two miles from shore as the préachán flies. / /
Featured in Heritage in Stone 6th Nov, 2008. / Featured in Ireland 8th Nov, 2008. / Carrigafoyle Castle – built by Conor Liath O’Connor-Kerry in the 1490s, and considered one of the strongest of Irish fortresses – was a large tower house, of the type particularly common across the north of the province of Munster. It stood on a rock in a small bay off the Shannon estuary, and its name is an anglicisation of the Irish, Carraig an Phoill (“rock of the hole”). The castle was referred to as the guardian of the Shannon, because of its strategic command of the shipping lanes that supplied the trading city of Limerick, some 20 miles (32 km) upriver. The bay at Carrigafoyle was shielded from the estuary on the northern side by a wooded island. Within the bay, the castle-rock was defended on the west and south sides by a double defensive wall: the inner wall enclosed a bawn, and surrounding this was a moat, which was covered on three sides (the east lay open) by the outer wall, where a smaller tower stood. The tower-keep itself was 86 ft high, and the precipitous sides of the castle-rock were layered with bricks and mortar. At high tide, the walled landing within the moat was capable of accommodating a ship of 100 tons displacement. Wikipedia
This was a lot more cheery and colorful before uploading it onto RedBubble. (i’m not sure why the colors are sooo off over there!) The inspiration behind this new series (as if I needed another one, I know, I can’t help it!) is the tub, toilet, and sink in my new house. This house was built in the 50’s and let me tell you, it shows. My bathroom pieces are this funky robin’s egg blue….way retro. Anyways, I was trying to think of a creative way to keep the funky blue stuff but somehow decorate around it so…I’ve been dooding a series of my family in different bathroom scenes (sorry y’all, no real nudity!) with the colors of my bathroom. There you have it…my inspiration. In the print that I am going to buy of this one, the bathtub is a cheery yellow and the bubbles and parts of the shower curtain are that retro blue…as if you cared to know that! :D
Acrylic and collage on canvas. / This painting was done just for the pleasure of creating it!
Lislaughtin Abbey sits in an inlet of the Shannon estuary in North Kerry, Southern Ireland, historically O’Connor country. construction began in 1464, thirteen years later it was dedicated by indult of Pope Sixtus IV. In 1580 English forces moved vengefully through this area and laid siege to Carrigafoyle Castle close by, killing the defenders. They then went to Lislaughtin and all but 3 of the priests fled. Three elderly priests took refuge in the sanctuary of the Abbey. They were killed by the English soldiers and the Abbey was looted. The plaque outside the Abbey recalls the martyrdom of these men and records their names – Philip O’Shea, Maurice O’Scanlon and Donagh O’Hanrahan.

Acrylics on triangular canvas (3×12 inches) This painting depicts the ferry crossing from Kilimer, county Clare to Tarbert, county Kerry. The ferry is named The Shannon Dolphin and crosses the river every half hour during the summer months. The Shannon Dolphin was named because of the large numbers of dolphin playing in the river. This painting is the view from my kitchen window.
