Inspired by a reference photograph taken by Shannon Barr Photography, this oil painting captures the tranquil flow of Kilbroney Forest Park - a place where time seems to slow and the land itself invites you to breathe. The gentle rhythm of water over stone creates a natural meditation, a soft reminder that life, like the river, is always moving, always reshaping, always finding its way.
Light filters through the canopy in muted golds and greens, illuminating moss-covered rocks and quiet pools that hold the hush of ancient stories. This scene is not simply landscape - it is energy: grounding, cleansing and deeply restorative. Standing before it, the viewer is invited into stillness and presence, as though nature itself is whispering, “Come home to yourself.”
Kilbroney Forest Park honours the Celtic relationship with the land - a bond built on reverence, reflection and quiet communion. It is a visual breath, a return to centre, and a reminder that the earth offers sanctuary to those who pause long enough to listen.
