Closing Time: A Rainy Night on Little Catherine St, Limerick

“Closing Time” is a soulful, atmospheric tribute to the streets of Limerick after dark. Inspired by the post-impressionist mastery of Vincent van Gogh, this painting captures the shimmering reflections and quiet solitude of Little Catherine Street in the rain. While the original oil painting has been sold, I am proud to offer a strictly limited run of archival-quality prints for collectors.

The Inspiration

The title is a nod to the iconic song by Semisonic. It reflects that poignant moment when the night’s energy fades, the doors are locked, and the city streets belong to the rain. There is a specific beauty in Little Catherine Street when the crowds have gone—the way the shop lights dance on the wet cobblestones creates a “Starry Night” aesthetic right in the heart of Ireland. Whether you are a local who knows these streets by heart or an art lover drawn to moody, urban landscapes, this piece captures the feeling of “nowhere else you should be.”

Gallery-Quality Archival Prints

To ensure the texture and depth of the original brushwork are preserved, each print is produced using professional-grade materials:

• Premium Paper: Printed on Epson Somerset Velvet, a 100% acid-free archival fine art paper that feels as good as it looks.

• High-Fidelity Colour: We use 13 chromatic pigment inks to achieve a colour range that standard printing simply cannot match.

• Built to Last: These prints are light-resistant for up to 150 years, meaning the deep blues and warm golds will not tarnish or fade over time.

• Conservation Grade: Each print comes mounted to conservation quality, ready to be framed and cherished as a long-term investment.

Bring a piece of Limerick’s night-time magic into your home. This limited edition print is the perfect way to own a piece of contemporary Irish art that blends musical nostalgia with timeless technique.
