Afterglow is a hand-painted landscape, later scanned and digitally enhanced to deepen its atmosphere. Inspired by the changing skies of the Irish west, this piece captures the quiet moment when day dissolves into night — when colours bloom, shadows stretch, and the land seems to hold its breath. Teal blues and deep crimson tones wash across the scene like memories surfacing, while a delicate line of light marks the edge between what has passed and what is to come. Afterglow speaks to that in-between hour — full of mystery, longing, and the pull of what lies just beyond the visible.
This painting emerged from the artist’s deep-rooted connection to Irish landscapes and her fascination with how light—both natural and emotional—transforms place into presence. Though untethered to a specific geographic location, Afterglow is steeped in the spirit of Connemara’s weather-shifting skies and dramatic silhouettes.
Blending traditional brushwork with a digital atmosphere, the piece invites viewers to stand at the edge of perception—where memory distorts, deepens, and glows.
Afterglow is part of the Sky Trance collection — a series of Irish landscape artworks that capture the emotional beauty of the sky at dusk. This piece invites viewers into that quiet moment when day fades into night, with glowing colours and soft textures that feel both calming and mysterious. Each artwork in the Sky Trance series blends traditional painting with subtle digital enhancements, creating a modern take on Irish landscape art.
The artwork stands out from any angle as the matte museum-quality paper diffuses the light.
Hand-painted canvas, scanned and converted to digitally enhanced still.
