The Irish Oak. Apparently one oak tree provides enough oxygen daily for a typical Irish family - amazing! 🌳

It is amazing what happens when you don't cut the grass - you create a pollinator paradise. Butterflies, bumble bees, hover flies and a few strange looking beasties!

Montbretia and Honeysuckle - colouring country roads all across Ireland July through September. Have some in the back garden in Dublin to remind of summer days in the west!

You can't have a set of postcards of Ireland without including the beautiful Cliffs of Moher. The artist sketched in a nice gull to add to the sunset mood. From our Sketches of Ireland series. If anyone out there has a nice scene they would like to have illustrated just message me.

This illustration was one of a set of 24 Postcards called Sketches of Ireland, which we published. The Galway hooker's sail added a strong splash of colour to the set. The fishermans face (and pipe) was inspired by old photos of Ireland's legendary arctic explorer Tom Crean. The Aran jumper came from old pics of 70's Hollywood heartthrob Steve Mcqueen, when he turned out wearing the sweater (with cool sunglasses). We wanted the illustrations to have the look of a set of linocut prints.
