Irish Landscape Paintings by Mary McSweeney

Mary McSweeney: An Irish Artist

Welcome to my Ireland. Born and raised in Killarney, I have sketched and painted the familiar surroundings of my homeland… Ross Castle, Achill Island, the Gap of Dunloe, the Cliffs of Moher, The Donegal Coastline, Glendalough, Croagh Patrick, Blarney Castle, the Carrig Aonar … ever since I was a child.

After graduating from the Cork School of Art, I began to paint professionally the beautiful landscape, the simple events and the everyday people that is the true Emerald Isle. Whether it’s my mother’s house nestled in the hills or an old man walking through the meadow, or simply the places and the people that I see, I know I have to paint them, to preserve them on canvas, to capture the essence that is Ireland.

Even though I’m living on Cape Cod now, I return to Ireland frequently to sketch and paint. All of my paintings reflect a love of my homeland and respect for my country-men and women. All of us who are Irish or simply love Ireland are bound together by that love for this land of soft green hills and valleys, of windswept rocky coastlines, and for the welcoming smoke that rises from the hearth of an Irish home.

Since I paint with oils, the realism of what I see can be captured by my brush, and my fond familiarity of the subject breathes life into the painting.

I hope you enjoy my paintings. Each one is uniquely Irish. I’m happy to be able to share them with you.

Mary recently checked in with the following: 

Greetings!                             

Happy Easter;

Welcome to my updated website and gallery. The website update should make it more user friendly and easier to navigate. Something new is the "originals" available for sale and it is called out on individual pages.

If you are planning a visit to Cape Cod, the gallery will be open on May 1st as I am taking a short vacation in late April.


Mary
