Starting in Ballyhornan, and following the South Down coastline along the edge of Dundrum Bay and the foot of the Mourne Mountains to Greencastle, these 40 images were created over a 4-year period and are a mixture of both classic and abstract landscape genres.  The collection captures both the raw, and at times, wild beauty of the landscape through the seasons.
