New Morning – Cahore

New Morning, Cahore by Carl Strickland.

This new oil painting from Irish artist Carl Strickland captures a serene and picturesque scene set in beautiful Cahore, Co. Wexford in the early hours of the day. The artist's skillful brushwork brings to life the tranquil atmosphere of the moment, invoking a sense of calm and peacefulness that envelops the viewer.

The focal point of the painting is the play of light as the morning sun casts its gentle radiance upon the water. The sun's golden rays dance upon the surface.  The water's surface is painted with delicate strokes, reflecting the changing hues of the sunlit sky – from soft, pastel pinks and purples near the horizon to a warm, inviting blue closer to the viewer.

Centered within the composition is a small yacht  making its way out past the pier. The yacht's sails are subtly filled with the morning breeze, giving it a sense of movement and purpose. In the background, the iconic Strand Bar and Restaurant sits nestled into the cliff.  The interplay of light, water, and architecture creates a harmonious composition that invites the viewer to bask in the peaceful ambiance of the scene and momentarily escape into its tranquil beauty.
