Excellent painting, Siobhan:
Residing on the west coast of Ireland gives you the benefit of the warm waters in the gulf stream. Hence, the albatross and other migratory birds. Your gallery on PIL is quite impressive. Congratulations! Carlow Dublin ~ CED

Oh he is so so cute and fluffy! This is great - seascape and bird life combined. You could even do a real close up of just the chick - he is so gorgeous. 5 ***** Glad you like the seascape - I am certainly enjoying these. I keep on reading and looking at seascapes and adding new ideas to each painting. I even bought a dvd that is just waves crashing - but it is very useful to see how things work. And not al;ways as you would think. Hug from Mike

Absolutely magnificent, Siobhan! Lovely Acrylic painting of The Albatross and her chicks. Your paintings are so natural, and full of Natural Beauty! Love the Albatross and her chicks.Well placed on the board, and love the way the older Albatross is going about her day, letting the chicks feel their feet! Wonderful. The Albatross brings freedom and grace, a very beautiful bird indeed! 5***** Regards Angela

Artist Statement
for Siobhan Knox

Ireland

I was born in 1974 on the east coast of Ireland
My passion for painting comes from nature and the lovely land I live in.
I now reside on the west coast of Ireland and absolutely love the rugged and unpredictable nature of the land. The west is renowned for its quirky cottages, lots of sheep and stone walls that go on forever!!!
I love using acrylic paint as my main medium and love it for its versatility.
This site has certainly opened up new ideas for me and I am enjoying the chats and feedback from all my artist friends.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful art!!xxx

If you wish to purchase any of my paintings or commission me to do a painting please
email me kvonni@yahoo.ca
I am also on facebook!!

Siobhan ..... : )
