After wracking my brains trying to think of a present to get my brother (you know...that guy who has everything!) who lives in the states, I came across Chris’s paintings on his website. I purchased 2 paintings of scenes from Limerick that would be very familiar to my brother as he grew up there. The canvases arrived REALLY promptly and were really beautifully presented with mountings on them already. We were bringing them to the states and decided to get them framed there. My brother loved them. What is really unique about Chris’s paintings is the amount of life and movement he gets into his landscapes. I have seen lots of landscape paintings of Limerick and other cities, but they are usually historical paintings ...of the cities as they used to be long ago. Chris’s paintings are like snapshots of the city as it is today... with all the hustle and bustle associated with it. But they are still beautiful and evocative and made us all feel quite close and connected to that place we call home. I will definitely be purchasing from him again and think that his paintings are a fabulous unique gift for anyone. Want one myself now.
