'Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures'. Henry Ward Beecher Roy Gaston's homeland environment on ‘Fisher’s Lane’ in Ballymena ignited a passion for painting as a means of expressing an appreciation of the natural world, and evolving to become the subject of a lifetime’s work. His paintings are infused by an intuitive response to experiences acquired over a lifetime of observation and appreciation of the natural world. Through whichever medium chosen, his work allows the viewer access to a moment in time, expanded for infinity, to glimpse that which is rarely seen. Whether it be a watchful wagtail on the Causeway’s rocks rendered so eloquently it belies the very fickleness of its medium, or the freedom of a falcon on Fair Head, there remains no question that each have been executed by a hand so masterful of its craft, it defies belief. Due to the high demand of requests this website has been developed mainly to promote high quality reproductions of original paintings by Roy. However from time to time there will also be the opportunity to purchase original paintings as they become available. If you would like to be informed of these please complete the contact form. |
