Lough Erne Fermanagh, from Crom to Sea - Barry McAdam Card The creases in the Tetra

The creases in the Tetra Pak printing plate are made a feature of the piece

They will return to Canada in the spring with a stopover in Iceland but they will return again next year with their wonderful formation and noises

and also the beauty of walking in the Botanical Gardens Dublin at that time of year

Thankfully I achieved the balance in the final piece

The rooftops remain blocky and the reds still come through to give a more painterly feel to the piece that I couldn't wait to share with you

Lough Erne Fermanagh, from Crom to Sea - Barry McAdam Card The creases in the TetraBarry had long envisioned creating a painting of the county that would capture its full expanse as he sees it in his mind's eye. He imagined it as a vast patchwork quilt, draped from Topped to Cuilcaigh, with the majestic Erne winding its way through, from gentle meanders to the wide expanse of the lough. It took Barry weeks of meticulous sketching to bring this vision to life, exaggerating certain elements to craft a harmonious and meaningful layout.
