‘All at Sea’ - in these new, strange days I’

‘All at Sea’ - in these new, strange days I’m harking back to the feeling of this painting - made during a time of change and in response to days spent in solitude on the shoreline. Documenting the sea in layers felt like a meditation – a sort of roadmap in to serenity.

This past week has been discombobulating to say the least. I found myself vacillating every other day between feeling buoyed by the sheer grace of human kindness to feeling my work thus far has been utterly pointless and thinking ‘what’s the point, who needs painting now?’ Staying out of my studio for a few days helped me answer my own question - I need painting now, more than ever 🙏.. Back painting in the studio today helped me find my sea-legs.
Allowing ourselves to ‘be’ all at sea is for me, invigorating, life enhancing and often life-affirming. Whatever you are feeling during these strange days, go lightly - I wish you wellness, love, peace of mind, rest and the resilience to hold on and let go. We are in it together and although it’s unfamiliar I believe we are moving forwards 💚.
Thank you for being here and your support - it means so much 🙏.

10% OFF EVERYTHING when you Sign Up to my Mailing

10% OFF EVERYTHING when you Sign Up to my Mailing List in thanks for your support and interest🙏 By way of introduction - I’m Cora and I’m a contemporary landscape painter based in Cork city(see first comment re images on this post)🙏. It wasn’t always this way! I came to painting relatively late - only beginning when I was 30! Previously I had a successful marketing and communications consultancy in London. I loved it but suspected I was missing something. I took a year out to live in NZ and write a book - that was a disaster ie. the book 🤦‍♀️ but i did stumble upon painting and freedom and both have guided me well❤️ There’s a great expression - leap and the net will appear - it’s true! In 2008 I moved back to Ireland to paint full time- I was clueless about art and everything having been away for 15 years. I was fortunate to find residencies that afforded me time, space and facility to learn my own way into the landscape. Slowly my series and skill began to develop alongside a deep love for HOME and all that means. In 2018 I published a book called HOME to celebrate 10 years painting back in Ireland- it is amazing to feel at home, at home. I still don’t have a clue what I’m doing but I feel enormously fortunate to be still here. My degree is in New Technology but I couldn’t wire a plug to save my life! It’s REALLY, TRULY not about where you start but where you end up! Listening to your gut is all - point your compass in that direction! ❤️ Please note: Discount expires 1st April 2020

‘Out of the Blue - Dun Bristé’ oil on canvas, 100cm x 70cm. Available. I made this painting while on a painting fellowship at @ballinglen_arts_foundation in Ballycastle, Co Mayo. Dun Bristé - or the stack - is a tiny landmass just off Downpatrick Head. It’s a sanctuary for birds now but legend has it that the chunk of rock broke away from the mainland when St Patrick struck the earth with his stick in response to a naysayer who doubted his Christian doctrine! Either way it is striking and I love to paint it!

☝️Oh boys, oh boys!! ☝️❤️ This was from one of the best days EVER! Em, Ev (#nephewz) & I were spending the day together. As we were leaving Pinocchio’s toy store Ev said ‘Where next?’. When I replied ‘An exhibition’ he punched the air and said ‘Yass!’ (Cork for Yes!). I almost expired with pride! When I was growing up galleries were SO stuffy and boring! I had been to the opening of the Retrospective the night before and brought home the book which Ev has been looking through. The boys immediately (and instinctively!) wanted to make art in the space. The entire time we were in the @crawfordartgallery Ev kept looking around saying ‘Where’s Sean Scully?’ 🤣 As we were leaving Ev took my hand, beckoned to whisper in my ear and said ‘I think your painting is better!’🤣👏😉 #familyfirst #mymagicmentor #possiblybiased #eachoneteachone #purecork #purelove #family #favourites #fortheloveofart
