This is a superb piece of Original Irish Art, a gouache (thick watercolour) Painting of Irish Cottages Near The Sea, by the acclaimed Irish artist, Markey Robinson, who has signed it to the bottom left, please see photos.

David Marcus Robinson, known as Markey Robinson (7 February 1918 – 28 January 1999), was an Irish painter and sculptor with a primitive representational style. His main passion was painting, but he also produced sculptures and designed some stained glass panels.

Born in Belfast in 1918 he was educated at Perth Street Elementary School and at the Belfast College of Art, however, he learnt most from his grandfather, the recognised painter/decorator, Thomas Robinson.

Markey travelled abroad at various times and in 1942 three of his paintings were first exhibited in the Ulster Academy of Arts exhibition.

He was highly collected and his works are in many collections around the world.

This superb piece by him is painted in gouache, which was one of his favourite mediums and featured a couple of Irish cottages near the sea, with the sails of a boat in the distance. It features a colourful palette and looks fabulous.

It is mounted within a wonderfully presented contemporary silver coloured wooden frame and measures 51cm x 41 cm including the frame. (The actual viewable artwork measures 29.5 cm x 18.5 cm). It’s behind glass and ready to hang and enjoy displaying beautifully.

As with all the art I sell; if you are not 100% delighted with it please return it for a full no quibble refund.
