Letters from the Landscape

I'd driven past this tree for years. It sits in a rocky outcrop near Lough Brin, bent so far sideways that every branch reaches east, like it gave up arguing with the Atlantic a long time ago. Stripped bare on the windward side, gnarled and stubborn on the other. I always meant to stop.

The day I finally did, my friend John Barkley was in the passenger seat with an infrared camera on the back seat. I asked could I borrow it. He said yes, which was trusting of him given my track record with other people's gear. Infrared renders foliage almost white and pushes sky tones very dark. I'd been wondering for a while what that tree would look like under those conditions.

The composition was fiddly. Those long branches needed to sit clear of the mountain ridge behind, and a couple of steps in either direction lost them completely against the hillside. So I'm shuffling around on wet ground, trying not to drop John's camera, while the light keeps breaking apart and pulling back. Not my most dignified afternoon!

Worth it, though. The twisted trunk has a wonderful graphic weight in monochrome, and the bright foliage against that dark Kerry sky gives the whole image a quality I couldn't have got any other way.

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.
