Original - The Ireland Collection - Passing Light

'Passing Light' is a signed, original acrylic and ink painting on illustration board by Kathryn Callaghan.

This painting was inspired by the sweeping mountain vistas across Ireland, places where the land rises suddenly and the sky seems to move faster than you can follow. What stays with me most is the way the weather can change in minutes: clouds gathering, drifting, breaking apart, and then returning again, each shift transforming the mood of the landscape.

With Passing Light, my intention was to capture that dramatic contrast, the bright, almost electric colour that appears when the sun hits, set against the darker, moodier sections that settle in as shadow returns. It’s a landscape in motion, not fixed to one time of day or one kind of atmosphere, but constantly reshaped by what’s happening overhead.

The piece was poured freestyle onto a prepared surface and built up in layers over time. The first layer began with a black, inky mix poured to create the foundation of the composition, essentially my “drawing” without pencils or a traditional sketch underneath. Because the pouring process is contactless, gravity and flow become part of the work, allowing the deeper tones to settle into the painting like gathering cloud.

Kathryn's work is created using a mix of ink and gel. She applies the medium in a freestyle approach, often with no pencil marks as guidelines, which adds a unique sense of life and movement to the subject matter.

This artwork comes in a glazed, white, wooden double frame.
