WILD GARDEN And Other Paintings is the new exhibition by the Cork artist Michael F Downs which opens at The Kenny Gallery, Liosbán Retail Park, Tuam Road, this Saturday, at 2pm.
After graduating from University College Cork, Michael went to work in the commercial world but painting was always his first love, and eventually he gave up his business career and dedicated himself to art full time.
His main interest is landscape painting and in capturing the changing lights and colours of the countryside. He uses a variety of media, water-colours, pen and inks, oils and acrylics, and is constantly experimenting with textures and colours, searching for new ideas and compositions.
Michael is a director of the Crawford Gallery in Cork and this will be his first solo exhibition in Kenny’s.
The exhibition continues Mondays to Saturdays from 9am to 5pm until Thursday March 10. Admission is free and all are welcome. See www.thekennygallery.ie
