.Old Head of Kinsale, Co. Cork - Archival Print
Hand painted in gouache which is an opaque watercolour, these illustrations are inspired by my own happy childhood memories of road trips around this beautiful island with my family in the late 60's and 70's (I'm a fine vintage). And yes, we drove a VW minibus and you'll see one or two popping up in this collection.
Printed on beautiful archival slightly textured watercolour paper with archival pigment inks which ensures your lovely print will last a lifetime. This paper is especially made for art prints and it is difficult to tell the print from the original painted work.

The Old Head of Kinsale with it's lighthouse is a dramatically beautiful headland protruding over 3km into the Atlantic Ocean. It's famous for it's world class 18 hole golf course which runs up to the top of the cliffs. It is also the nearest land point to the site where the RMS Lusitania sank in 196 after being hit by a German torpedo where 1,200 people perished.
