"View of Ballycastle from the Bog Road" is from 1994, the first of 13 summer painting on the edges of town.
Depending on the hour and the quality of light, there would always be something to work with.
This painting is characterized by a way of looking out at the world still with a sense of calm, clarity and logical order all of which was slowly overturned by the conditions of light and weather that I came to know there. - Stuart Shils
