Letters from the Landscape
Joyce Country has a particular emptiness to it. Rolling bog, rough grassland, not much else. I'd been poking around a nearby oak forest when I spotted this single tree standing out in open moorland with nothing behind it but the Partry hills. No company, no shelter. Just one tree holding its ground against whatever the Atlantic decides to throw at it.
The sky was heavy and brooding, thick cloud with just enough light breaking through to give the scene real drama. I knew immediately I wanted infrared. It renders foliage bright, pushes the sky dark, and pulls out tonal contrast you simply can't get otherwise. The relationship between land and atmosphere becomes something quite different.
Getting the composition meant crossing open bog. Getting back cost me a wellington boot, or very nearly. Up to my hip in a bog hole, wrestling it free while it filled to the brim with dark Mayo water. I squelched around for the rest of the day trying to look like a professional!
Worth it, though. One tree, open moorland, a heavy sky. Nothing competing for attention. Sometimes the best photographs come from the simplest subjects, found by accident while you're supposed to be doing something else entirely.
Every print is made to order: printed, checked, signed, and packaged for you individually.
Every print is signed. Unframed and framed prints are signed and titled by hand on the white border beneath the photograph.
Archival inks on museum-grade materials. Unframed and framed prints are Giclée prints on cotton rag paper.
Prints are well-packaged, tracked and insured. If one arrives damaged, I'll replace it at no cost.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, free. Send me a photograph of your wall. I'll send it back with the print hanging on it, at its true size and in the correct perspective. Start my free preview

I got this for my brother as it was from near the home we were brought up in. It brought us both back home immediately. This photo is hauntingly beautiful and a beautiful example of the amazing collections available at Peter Cox.
