Letters from the Landscape

Inis Tuaisceart, the Sleeping Giant, is sitting right below the sun. An Fear Marbh, the Dead Man, if you prefer the less cheerful translation. From this angle it really does look like a figure lying on its back in the Atlantic, which is slightly unsettling and completely wonderful at the same time.

Dunmore Head is the westernmost point of the Irish mainland, and this evening the sun found a narrow gap between two layers of cloud and just hung there. A perfect orange orb, soft and warm, spreading a gentle glow across water that was nearly flat. No fiery reds. No wild colour. Just calm. The Atlantic is rarely this cooperative out here.

What I love about this view is the depth. Rocky headland close below, then sea stacks, then Great Blasket sitting broad and dark in the middle distance, then Inishnabro and Inishvickillane fading to silhouettes on the horizon. Layer after layer of rock and water, all the way to the edge of Europe. After this, it's three thousand miles of open ocean!

It took me five years to get the cover image for my first book from this same stretch of coast. Five years of checking forecasts, driving the Slea Head road in every kind of weather. That's the reality of this place. It gives you extraordinary evenings, but strictly on its own schedule.

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.
