Brittas Bay & Mizen Head, Co. Wicklow
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.
Not the Mizen Head you're thinking of. That catches everyone out. This is the Wicklow one, the headland at the southern end of Brittas Bay, and it's a place I keep returning to.
I'd walked the quieter southern stretch for a while that evening, looking for something to anchor the foreground, when I found this layered rock formation sitting in the shallows. Flat, textured, almost like pages of a book fanned open by the tide. Exactly what I needed. I got the tripod down low, right at the waterline, barely above the wash. The waves were gentle enough to give the water some life without flooding the composition.
Then the sky did something remarkable. Long lines of cloud radiating outward from the horizon, fanning across the entire frame. You can't plan for that. You can only be there when it happens.
What I love about this image is how everything connects. The rough texture of that rock against smooth wet sand. The cloud pattern pulling your eye from the foreground all the way to Mizen Head and the green slope running down to the water. In a large print, you can even pick out the offshore wind farm on the horizon, which gives it an unexpected sense of scale. Simple composition, but the tide was right, the light was right, and I knew fairly quickly which frame it was going to be!

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!
