Letters from the Landscape

I nearly missed it. I'd been working my way along the coast near Meenlaragh, ready to turn back, when the sand patterns beneath the shallows stopped me dead. Pale gold bleeding into deep turquoise, these long curved ridges shaped by tidal flow, shifting every few hours into something entirely different. I held position and just watched.

From altitude, the whole structure of this coastline reveals itself. That long sandy spit holding the Atlantic back from the calm lagoon behind it. Rocky islands trailing northwest towards Tory, which sat on the horizon about twelve kilometres out, just a dark shape in the haze. Green fields running right to the cliff edge, as they do along so much of Donegal. It's a place that hides its real character at ground level.

The sky was overcast with a faint warmth creeping in from the right, probably the last trace of a sunset that never quite committed. Perfect conditions, actually. No harsh shadows, and that flat diffused light let the colour in the shallows come through cleanly. Direct sunlight would have scattered off the surface and hidden everything underneath. The lagoon was dead calm too, which helped enormously. Even a light chop and those sand patterns vanish.

Tory Island in the distance gives the whole image its sense of scale and exposure. Without it, you're looking at a beautiful beach. With it, you understand how far out into the Atlantic this corner of Ireland really reaches!

Before you buy

When will it arrive?

You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.

What does shipping cost?

I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.

Does the size include the frame?

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.
