Twilight on the Shannon

This 12″ x 12″ palette knife painting, titled “Twilight on the Shannon.”

Twilight on the Shannon captures the dramatic scene of King John’s Castle , Limerick at dusk. The rough application of paint with a palette knife creates a sense of texture and movement in the canvas. The castle stands stoic against a darkening blue sky, its ancient stones ablaze with fiery oranges and deep browns reflecting the fading light. Thomond Bridge stretches across the River Shannon, its silhouette stark against the twilight. Below, the water shimmers with the gentle dance of fairy lights, offering a touch of magic against the powerful backdrop. The contrasting colours and textures create a captivating view of Limerick’s rich history meeting the beauty of a modern evening.
