Galway Hookers

Sold

Two boats sit before the village they serve

Medium: Oil

This is the first experiment that grew into the Simplicity Collection. At the time I didn’t know that I would explore the concept further, but I had captured these boats and wanted to find the way to show them truthfully.

The Galway Hookers and the peoples’ lives are intrinsically linked. The people take care of their boats, and the boats provide for them in return. They’re not only vessels but vehicles of their owners dreams and testaments to their lives. They protect the people and village beyond, as much as the villagers protect and care for them.
