Dun Laoghaire Paintings



Paintings of Dún Laoghaire Harbour and the Pier



Dún Laoghaire is one of my favourite places to paint, especially along the pier, harbour and seafront. As an artist, I’m drawn to the calm colours, shifting weather and the light across the sea, and nighttime stillness.This page gathers a selection of my Dun Laoghaire paintings — soft, atmospheric pieces that capture the coastline at different moments.

Dún Laoghaire is one of the places I return to again and again — the pier, the harbour light, and the calm colours are constant sources of inspiration. If you’d like to explore more of my work beyond Dún Laoghaire, you can view my full collection here → Paintings for Sale.
