Inis Mór Aran Islands

An incredible depiction in oils of waves crashing dramatically off the cliffs at Inis Mór, one of the Aran Islands, found at the mouth of Galway Bay, off the West Coast of Ireland.  Mark’s heavy use of oils allows for a textured, almost 3-dimensional element to the painting, while his incredible talent as an artist allows you to truly imagine that heavy swell of the tide coming towards you, so much so you can almost feel the sea spray on your skin. Mark manages to make you feel that perhaps you are watching this spectacular collision of waves and rock happen for real in front of you.
