Ireland as a whole is one of the most beautiful, fascinating, and friendly places I’ve been in my travels. But without a doubt it was County Galway that stole my heart. I was in Ireland a little over a month and spent half of that time roaming in just this one little corner of the stunning Irish landscape.
From the city that bears the name Galway as well to the rolling landscapes of Connemara, these Galway art prints were inspired by my time in this amazing place. If you’ve been to Galway, I’m sure these are probably some of the same vistas that made you sigh, too. If you haven’t been and are simply searching for Irish art prints for sale, County Galway is classic Ireland and sure to delight as well.
My art prints of Galway are perennial favorites among all of my Irish prints. If you have any questions about my Irish art, just ask!
Ireland seems to be littered with historic and sacred sites like the Irish ruins seen here – Ross Errilly Friary. I would not have seen these if I had taken a bus tour of the wilds of Connemara. It’s simply one of those places I never would have stumbled over on my own, but I…
One of my favorite areas of the Galway waterfront to walk was the Claddagh. I probably walked along there each day. I loved the seaside vibe and the smell of the salt air along Galway Bay. I never tallied up the days but I suspect I walked along here almost every day. I particularly loved…
During my stay in Ireland, I saw a good deal of the Irish seaside and it was invariably charming. From lonesome beaches and small villages to cities, I enjoyed them all. But if there’s one place that stands out in my mind as representative of the Irish seaside, it’s Galway. I spent nearly two weeks…
This artwork of snow falling on Claddagh Quay was inspired by my first visit to Galway. We arrived in the city after dark on a winter evening. Shortly after getting settled in, we headed out for dinner and as soon as we hit the streets, dust swirled through the night sky. I’ve read that snow…
When I think of Classic Galway, this is the waterfront scene that springs to mind. And if you take a wander through my Galway City art, you’ll quickly see that I must have spent a lot of time down there walking along the water. And indeed I did. I spent over two weeks in and…
Whenever I look at this Galway panorama, I am taken back to that beautiful city on the Irish west coast. I can smell the salt air again and feel the cool ocean breeze on my cheeks. There is simply no question that I left a little bit of myself behind on the streets of Galway….
While I wandered the rural roads of County Galway, it seemed that my only constant companions were these Connemara sheep and their compatriots. It felt as if the whole of the Irish countryside was populated with sheep rather than people. And that might not be far off the truth. The weather in winter in the…
Considering their proximity, I guess it shouldn’t be too surprising that there were parts of Ireland that seriously reminded me of the Scottish Highlands. And this was especially true of the places I saw in Western Ireland. The landscapes there were simply sweeping and dramatic like this view overlooking Killary on the border of County…
During my stay in Galway City, I had plenty of classically beautiful days even in the midst of a colder-than-normal Irish winter. As you can see from my other Galway City art prints, blue skies and sunshine were not a foreign concept. But for much of my stay there, mornings started out foggy, particularly down…
There’s just something about any seaside city. When you’re there experiencing the smell of the ocean, the sounds, even the breeze off the ocean, there’s definitely a charm to it. And I think this print captures some of that charisma on the Galway seaside. When I look back at this print, I can hear the…
The Aran Islands were one of those special almost indescribable places you stumble across from time to time. When the winds were howling and the rain was whipping across the island, you wondered why anyone would ever live in such a place. Then the sun came out and the island was suddenly… well, you just…
There’s nothing quite like an authentic Irish Pub, and well, they don’t come much more authentic than the ones actually in Ireland! This one certainly has a classic look rising up off Eyre Street in the heart of Galway. I’ve said it over and over that I left a little part of myself behind in…
During my short stay on Inis Mór., I managed to visit two of the iron age “forts” that dot the Irish island, The second, Dun Aengus (or Dún Aonghasa) is seen in this panorama print. This ancient structure forms a half circle against the sheer drop of a cliff. Unfortunately, there’s no written record to…
Ireland was a country full of highlights. I don’t think I could have chosen a better starting point for my travels after starting my life as a full-time artist. In my mind, I still have a hard time picking favorite places or images from my time in Ireland. Each scene and each place had a…
Ireland was one amazing experience after another. There are so many places I’d love to see again some day. It’s hard to even prioritize them in my mind, but there’s no question that Killary Fjord would be high on that list. The amazing landscape seen in this panorama print is that beautiful natural harbor in…
Before I even reached the Aran Islands, there was something about them that called to me. I had read about life on the islands and how isolated life on the Aran Islands had once been. Late into the 20th century, life on the islands was still catching up to the outside world. It’s a place…
There are some places in the world that are just special. It’s hard to put a finger on why, but as you stand there, you just know it. For me, the iron age ruins on Inis Mór fit perfectly in that camp. What wasn’t to love? A gorgeous windswept landscape and amazing ancient ruins? For…
This little cemetery on the island of Inis Mór (part of the Aran Islands) off the west coast of Ireland was unlike any other I’ve seen. There was simply something very organic about the small cemetery in this print. I’ve visited plenty of small graveyards in my time but none that just seemed to flow…
There was something simply ethereal about my night in a deep Galway fog. I had wandered the streets of Galway’s historic city center many days and nights before the fog rolled in, but in those dense mists, it felt like a completely new place. Have you had that experience of wandering in a deep fog…
Galway is one of those places that gets under your skin. If you’ve been there, I suspect you know what I mean. It didn’t take long at all for me to decide Galway was one of my favorite Irish cities. I took an initial bus tour around Ireland and spent only a single night in…
This print is based on a photo taken at dusk in Galway on my last night in the city. I had taken photos on previous evenings from this same vantage point overlooking the Salmon Weir Bridge over the River Corrib. If you’re in one spot long enough, I think it’s natural to repeat locations, to…
The first week I spent in Galway, Ireland, was punctuated by a thick fog. Each morning the landscape would be coated in mists but as soon as the sun came out, the fog melted away. That was until the penultimate day of the fog. On the last day, the fog never lifted and by evening,…
There was simply something about the ruins of this Irish Monastery that spoke to me. I can’t explain it in any other way. Ross Errilly Friary was nestled in the Irish countryside in the midst of sheep pastures. And it seemed to echo with voices from the past. Standing there on a cold but sunny…
When I spotted Galway Cathedral rising above the River Corrib on my first day in Galway, I assumed the church was quite old, possibly even Medieval. The church is very classical in shape, drawing heavily from Renaissance style architecture. But I soon discovered the cathedral was built over an old prison on Nun’s Island in…
I guess because Galway is both a college town and on the tourist trail through Ireland, there seemed to be a vibrant night life there. I was in Galway about two weeks and every time I was out after dark, I saw people coming and going from a host of pubs and bars in the…
The night before I was to head out to the Aran Islands, a deep freezing fog set on Galway.For days straight, each morning had been foggy, but on this particular day, the fog simply never broke, and by nightfall, the streets were rolling in a deep fog. And, so I sat out into the cold…
It seems like everyone I’ve talked to who has been to Galway Ireland loved it. I know for me this charming Irish city on the sea was a winner. Time has passed but it hasn’t dulled my love for Galway Ireland in the least. Although there’s more of Ireland I want to see, I have…
I’m sure the image of a classic Irish landscape depends on the person. What places did you visit in Ireland? Or if you lived there, where did you call home? But from my month in Ireland, there’s no question that the classic Irish landscape that comes to my mind when I look back are those…
There’s just something special about a lonesome road disappearing on the horizon. It’s a type of artwork that I’ve always enjoyed. I love how roads like this one in Connemara lead our eyes through the landscape. And it’s extra special when that landscape feels so utterly wild, wide, and free. This particular Irish road carries…
During my stay in Ireland, one of the most memorable events was the night a thick freezing fog hit Galway. There had been several days straight of foggy mornings, but on this particular day, the fog never relented and by night, it was pea soup out there. I did what any sane artist would do…
