“Pacifica Patricia” Collage and Watercolour.

I started painting relatively late in Life, taking up the brushes when I was in my fifties; Watercolour paints were the only thing I had tried (never having had any official art classes) and I continue to enjoy this medium, nowadays adding inks, and pastels to the basic washes with which I start a work.
​
When to my surprise I began to sell my work, I pledged to send all my profits to the charity “Educate for Change” to whom I supply boarding and tuition fees for two Ugandan AIDS orphans. “My Girls” have now graduated from Secondary School, and I am pleased to say are currently in Further Education. In one more year they will be independent and useful members of their society. I will continue this charity starting over with two five year olds.

​Taken together, these 5 paintings were all painted in the last year, and more or less between them represent my habitual obsessions: namely the North west Coast of County Donegal, Ireland; The Lake District; and my own flower garden.

“Ullswater from Helton Fell”
40cm x 30cm Framed in an antique gold painted frame
​ £90
A memento of local summer rambling. 

“Whippet at Loughros Bay” Watercolour
Framed  40cm x 40cm. £80
This is a favoured beach near the town of Ardara, Ireland, and obviously includes another of my obsessions, my whippet, Sapphire. 

"Inishkeel House"
​Watercolour with a touch of Ink
Framed 40cm x 40cm £80

The house depicted in each of the “Inishkeel” paintings is the only (derelict) building on the tidal island of Inishkeel, in the Bay of Naran, a magnificent “strand” to which I pilgrimage each summer. 

“Lockdown Garden” Watercolour and Inks
​Framed 40cm x 40cm £80
These are the June poppies of my sanctuary during the strange summer of 2020
