Letters from the Landscape

Four miles off the Connemara coast, sitting barely above the waterline. That's where Slyne Head is, and getting there in 2014 meant persuading a fishing charter operator to take me and a large drone out into open Atlantic. He was so helpful he built a plywood landing deck on the stern of his boat before I even arrived.

The sea had other ideas. The boat was pitching badly, and on one landing attempt I nearly lost the drone entirely. I brought it down towards the deck and a wave caught the boat at exactly the wrong moment, lurching it sideways. The drone came within inches of going straight overboard. My heart was somewhere around my ankles for a good few minutes after that.

But the light. The sun was dropping low, throwing warm colour across the sky while the ocean stayed dark and restless, waves breaking white against black rock. From a few hundred feet up you see how exposed this place really is. Two small white buildings on a slab of stone with nothing between them and North America. The whole Atlantic pushing against them.

I remember the plywood deck, the swell, that sickening lurch. Worth it, though!

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.

Unframed Museum-quality Giclée print on archival cotton rag paper. Choose your own frame.
Framed Black wood frame, glazed with acrylic so it travels safely, with a mount on Exhibition and Feature sizes. Ready to hang.

★★★★★Excellent service and fabulous picture!

I ordered on behalf of my mum quite close to Christmas. I got a personal email which guaranteed the picture would be dispatched via courier which it was and it arrived before Christmas! My dad was thrilled with the picture of his beloved Clifden
