More of the 'Found' series....a companion piece for the previous post.

'Found Series' -Aimsíodh X (pr. 'Im-shee-och') -'In The Trenches I'

The 10th painting in the series........

'Found Series' -Aimsíodh VIII and IX (pr. 'Im-shee-och')

Two more shell 'portraits'.....of two of the old worn shells.

'Found' Series - Aimsíodh VI and VII (pr. 'Im-shee-och')

These are two more pieces in the 'Found' series. Altho' these aren't collages, I'm posting them here anyway since they're part of the series. These are little 'portraits' of two of the shells I found at Ballybunion. The shells in the previous posts all have holes in them that are a result of being washed and worn in the tide .....So these were fairly 'young' when I saved them from the surf!

'Found' Series - Aimsíodh V (pr. 'Im-shee-och')

The fifth in my 'Found' series of collage paintings. This one was created using hand textured papers, acrylic paint and hemp cord. The collage, which is twice the size of the previous four paintings in the series also includes a small painting of one of the shells from Ireland that inspired the entire series. Aimsíodh is the Irish Gaelic word for 'found'.

'Found' Series - Aimsíodh III & IV (pr. 'Im-shee-och')

My most recent Aimsíodh pieces... #'s III and IV in the 'Found' series. These were inspired by some old mollusk shells I found on the beach in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry Ireland.

'Found' Series - Aimsíodh I & II (pr. 'Im-shee-och')

Collages based on old mollusk shells I found at Ballybunion...a beach in the north of Co. Kerry Ireland. 'Aimsíodh' is the Irish Gaelic word for 'found'.
