Capture a moment of quiet majesty where history meets modern craftsmanship. “A King’s Gaze” pays tribute to the wooden sculpture of Dónal Mór O’Brien (originally carved by @will_fogarty_fear_na_coillte), depicting the High King in a moment of contemplative reverence.

As the evening dusk settles over Limerick, the King’s sculpture stands in awe of Saint Mary’s Cathedral—his “old stomping ground”—now illuminated against the twilight. This piece captures the stillness of the hour and the profound connection between the city’s founder and its most iconic landmark.

The Artwork

I utilised heavy texture and intricate brushwork to mirror the physical wood-carved details of the original sculpture, bringing a sense of three-dimensional depth to the canvas.
