lola donoghue
Oh, I am very excited about this! I LOVE Lola Donoghue’s large-scale abstract paintings, and because I’m in Ireland this week I get to meet her! I wish there was time to visit her inspiring, airy, sunlit-filled studio that overlooks the lovely Irish countryside, but a coffee in a cute cafe will have to do… just happy to meet her in person! Do you think I could sneak one of her giant paintings home in my suitcase? Oh, you better believe I’m gonna try!
ps. I have several of Lola’s pieces available as large-scale prints in my online gallery… 36″x36″ and 30″x40″ priced at $200
I wonder if she has a separate workshop to build those big canvases?
In one of the photos she is using some sort of color stick. What medium is that? Chalk? Oil? What is the brand?
Yes, I’m interested to know what medium the stick is, as well.
love love love Lola’s work! And these gorgeous pictures of her studio are so nice to see as well. It is always so great to see an artists space. I love her whimsical palette and large scale. 🙂 Thank you!
It looks like Oilbar. http://www.winsornewton.com/na/shop/oil-colour/oilbar
i think you might be right cynthea… lola, if you read this, let us know!
Ooooh I absolutely adore her work! Stunning stuff!
Danielle, I am smitten with Lola’s work. Thank you for bringing her to us! Wow!
Beautiful! Are these oil paints? Did she talk with you about her process at all? I’d love to learn about how she comes up with these paintings. Thanks for sharing!
i had dinner with her last night! she’s so amazing… lovely, elegant, so so nice! we didn’t talk about how she comes up with them, but i do know that she’s got about 10 or 15 going at all times! she just moves from one to the next, back & forth, in a gorgeous light filled space in the countryside (it sounds pretty perfect!)
Early Rothko and Cy Twombley-esque. Swoon. I can’t get enough of stuff like this at the moment. It would be really cool to do an expressionistic Tarot deck, like intuitive mood cards.
Beautiful! Thank you for featuring her work, just love it.
Hi, the color stick is oil bar, sure. I use them sometimes.
