Wonderfully observed study of the southern French landscape with lovely achievement of light through confident brushstrokes and a vivid palette.

McKenna has a strong auction history with works fetching into the mid to high hundreds.

Alex McKenna was born in North County Dublin but has taken the rural life of the West of Ireland as his main theme. McKenna's paintings are always based on his own experiences and his work reflect man's relationship with nature, whether it is in harmony or in conflict. McKenna has a deep love of land, sea and wilderness, and in particular, the labour of men on land and at sea. There is a video of this lot on our social media pages, Facebook.
