Co. Clare beauty spot captured on canvas
The beauty of Doonagore Castle, near Doolin in Co. Clare, has been captured on canvas by rising Limerick artist, Hugh Mc Mahon, a graduate of the Limerick School of Art and Design. This new painting was unveiled recently by Dr. Vincent Cunnane, Chief Executive, Shannon Development, at the reception area of Shannon Development’s Head Office in Shannon Town, where it will be on public view.
“In terms of encouraging development in our region, we have for many years specifically encouraged the direct development of the artistic sector in our region, and in keeping with this approach, we have assisted the artistic community in the region through the purchase and display of works by local artists. We know that this painting will be enjoyed by the many visitors, local, national and international, who come to our offices each year,” said Dr. Cunnane.
The painting, one of three showing scenic images from around the Shannon region, was commissioned by Shannon Development as part of the company’s support of local arts. In fulfilling his commission, Hugh has reinterpreted this familiar beauty spot near Doolin and depicted it in a more challenging, contemporary style. Pictured at the unveiling ceremony are (l-r); Dr. Vincent Cunnane, Chief Executive Shannon Development and Limerick artist Hugh Mc Mahon. For more information on the artist visit www.hughmcmahon.com.
