Cork artist Colm Murphy: 'You could catch mackerel off Patrick’s Bridge'

Birds and other nature scenes feature strongly in Colm Murphy's latest exhibition   

Colm Murphy and his painting Pocaire Gaoithe.

Colm Murphy is an artist of the natural world. His watercolour paintings are highly detailed and lavishly coloured, and most are inspired by the birdlife and fish he encounters on his walks and angling trips all over the country.

At least 35 paintings will feature in Murphy’s new exhibition at St Peter’s on North Main St in Cork, which will be opened on the evening of Thursday April 16 by the Reverend Gary Hastings, former Archdeacon of Tuam and Rector of Galway, and a noted Irish language enthusiast.
