Illauncreeveen, Glengarriff, Co. Cork
Prints are made to order, so I can't take one back just because you've changed your mind, but if it arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, I'll replace it at no cost. You can swap it within 30 days, though you'd cover the return postage.
That red buoy. I'd been coming back to this spot in Glengarriff harbour for years, and it was always the buoy that caught my eye first, sitting there like a punctuation mark in the bay. The composition was never the problem. Illauncreeveen fills the frame perfectly from this angle, with Sugarloaf Mountain on the Beara peninsula rising behind it. But every previous visit gave me flat skies, choppy water, or light that just wouldn't cooperate.
I'd found this particular stretch of shoreline by accident one evening, poking around after the village shops had closed. A quiet swimming spot the locals use, tucked away where you'd never think to look. The harbour here has a remarkable microclimate. Palm trees, tree ferns, species that belong in the Azores. The Gulf Stream and the shelter of the surrounding mountains create something genuinely unusual, and the island's vegetation is almost absurdly lush for a rock in an Irish bay.
On this evening, everything finally lined up. Dead calm water. Thin cirrus overhead catching colour as the sun dropped below the Caha Pass. Pinks and oranges reflected so perfectly the harbour became a mirror. I worked fast because conditions like these last maybe fifteen minutes. The frame with the buoy anchoring the right side and that mountain silhouette behind was the one I'd been waiting years for.

We produce all our prints to order, so you can be sure you're getting the best quality work to hang on your wall. As a result, in busy times it can take a while to process the orders. In the worst case, which is generally during the peak months of July-September, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive large framed prints. Large canvases generally take 2-3 weeks. Unframed prints are generally also 2-3 weeks at worst.
We aim to get prints out as quickly as possible, so we would expect and hope that you would receive them earlier than the above timeframes. If you have a particular need to get a print quickly, please let us know in the order notes and we'll prioritize it for you, or you can email us at info@petercox.ie.
Prints are well-packaged and in the unlikely event that it arrives damaged, we'll send a replacement free of charge.
When your order ships, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.
Thanks for your trust, and we hope you get many years of enjoyment from your new print!
