Some places are fascinating. We don’t really know why. The site called the “Flat Rocks” in the south East of Ireland is one of those. I go walking there very often, carrying both my box of watercolours and binoculars. Observing this rocky shoreline has helped me associate my interest for art, poetry and ornithology. It certainly hasn’t been easy. Capturing the stillness of the rock, the balancing movement of the water, the unstable light, by the only means of a brush and some pigments mixed with water, was the impossible aesthetic aim to accomplish. Painting watercolours is one of my favourite activities and this “Flat Rocks” watercolours series will always remind me of the sea breeze, the uncertain sun and the loud cries of the Black-backed gulls and the Herring gulls.
