There's something about the light over Lough Neagh towards the end of the day that I always find myself drawn to. The colours can be so lovely, with soft pinks, warm oranges and golden tones appearing across the sky and reflecting onto the water.

Inspired by a viewpoint in County Armagh, this little original oil painting is my interpretation of one of those evening moments. I've used layers of peach, dusty rose, terracotta and warm ochre, with softer, lighter tones running through the foreground.

Painted in oils on paper, I wanted to keep the brushwork loose and expressive, letting the colours and layers do most of the talking.

It's one of four small original paintings inspired by Lough Neagh, each exploring a different view and combination of colours from a place I return to often for inspiration.

Each painting has been individually framed by Bennett Design in a soft off-white frame with a matching mount and glass, giving it a simple, timeless finish.
