Ainnir naPáirce - Maiden of the Field Original Artwork

 Ainnir na Páirce – Charcoal & Soft Pastel Portrait

Ainnir na Páirce, meaning "Maiden of the Field", is a gentle tribute to the quiet grace and presence of the Irish cow. Captured in charcoal and soft pastel, this soulful portrait blends earthy texture with subtle softness, echoing the peaceful rhythm of rural life. With a calm gaze and delicate expression, she stands as a symbol of the land’s nurturing spirit—timeless, grounded, and deeply connected to nature. This piece celebrates the quiet beauty found in the everyday, where strength and serenity meet in the heart of the Irish countryside.

I've been developing a new technique using charcoal on canvas, as well as a combination of charcoal and soft pastel on canvas. This process involves multiple layers of specialised coatings, each carefully applied to enhance depth and texture. The final artwork is sealed with two coats of varnish, creating a soft, refined appearance while also providing a protective finish. This protective layer mimics the durability of an oil painting, ensuring the piece remains resilient over time.☘️
