Description
Title: MOON OVER THE LAKE
Note: A beautiful, dreamy view of a moonlit lake, compact but with tremendous sense of scale and airiness. Collins excelled at distilling the essence of the Irish landscape, misty, amorphous spaces, watery grey light and the emblematic recurrence of certain motifs: stones, rushes and reeds, boundary walls, isolated homesteads. With just a few basic elements, he conjures up a whole atmospheric world.Aidan Dunne,September 2023
