Autumn Afternoon, Carnivan Bay

The wind at Hook Head finally got to me, so I moved up the coast to these ciffs overlooking Carnivan Bay. I always love backlit or "contre jour" scenes, especially where there's water.

Comment by Michael McGuire on September 21, 2010 at 17:52: Thanks Caroline and Liz. Appreciate the positive feedback.

Comment by Liz Walsh on September 21, 2010 at 16:27: Love the colours in this painting - the yellows on the water and the orange highlights on the rocks - these colours give the piece a magical, mysterious air! Liz

Comment by Michael McGuire on September 20, 2010 at 7:35: Thanks Elaine. I've been working on small canvases for the last couple of months, not so much because I prefer to do so, but purely on commercial grounds - these ones sell! This painting is 10" x 12". I went as large as 16" x 22" earlier in the summer and did quite a few 14" x 18", the latter being a size with which I felt very comfortable. I must post the sizes in future, although in the absence of a field box for inserting same, it is easy to forget.

Comment by Elaine Hurst on September 19, 2010 at 23:54: Wow! Just the little bit I have watched your painting, while being on this site, has shown a lot of maturing in your painting style. I can now tell a "McGuire" when I see it! You get the light on the water, and the rocks wonderfully. What size is this one?

Comment by Caroline Cunningham on September 18, 2010 at 22:30: The glittering light is lovely in this one Michael

Comment by Michael McGuire on September 18, 2010 at 11:08: Thanks Tony. Everything just seems easy sometimes - not often enough though!

Comment by Tony Robinson on September 18, 2010 at 9:03: Another for the McGuire album! Very well done.

Comment by Michael McGuire on September 18, 2010 at 8:42: Thanks Paul, Lize and Kevin.

Comment by Michael McGuire on September 18, 2010 at 8:41: Thanks Norah. Make sure to tie everything down when painting over there. Hope it stays dry anyway.
