MacDonald Ross, R (1891 – 1978)
Scottish born watercolour artist who spent the latter part of his life in Warrenpoint, County Down, painting the scenery of the Mourne Mountains.
Ross MacDonald Ross was interested in Art from a very early age and he attended the Glasgow School of Art for five years, studying clay modelling and sculpture before settling on painting as his chosen field.
Around 1918 he moved to Northern Ireland (Belfast) where he married Catherine Mawhinney in 1920.
The family moved to the South Down area in 1930, living first at Castlewellan, then Kilkeel before eventually settling at Rostrevor.
Surprisingly for an artist known for his watercolour landscapes his first love was portrait painting but due to the cost – to the sitter and the artist – his work in that field was more limited. The well-known landscape painter, Frank Egginton, on one of his visits to the Mournes, persuaded him to take up water colour painting. Hundreds of County Down landscape paintings followed with many produced on commission of the same subjects for ex.pats around the world! ….More to follow…..

McDaid, Sharon
McDermott, Avril
I was reared in Dublin but I have deep rooted family connections in West Cork. I am a self taught Artist and have been painting my surroundings no matter where I happen to live for a very long time now. I live in the beautiful Village of Union Hall, West Cork, and I am spoilt for choice when looking for inspiration for my work, around every corner is a new scene. I paint mostly in oils and some watercolours, I enjoy both. Painting for me is an active way of looking always to see what others might not, I am interested in how light and shade play together. I have a small Gallery in Union Hall “The Little Yellow Gallery” which is quite an active place in the tourist season.
Commissions welcome.

“After the Bombardment, 1916” oil on canvas (19.5″ x 27.5″) – National Gallery of Ireland.
Kelly’s gunpowder shop on the corner of Sackville Street and Bachelor’s Walk was one of the several premises on Dublin’s main thoroughfare commandeered by the Volunteers on Easter Monday 1916. Holed up there were members of the so-called ‘Kimmage Garrison’ and the Fingal Battalion. The initial assault on the building, known among the Volunteers as ‘Fort Kelly’, began early on Wednesday 26 April. By the end of the week, Kelly’s had been reduced to a shell, and only the facades of many other buildings remained. In McGoogan’s painting, snipers on the second floor of Kelly’s exchange fire with soldiers in improvised armoured cars (the first vehicles of their kind ever used in combat). The painting seems at first glance otherwise uninhabited. A closer investigation, however, reveals a body lying on O’Connell Bridge, a grim acknowledgement of the human cost of the conflict. – National Gallery of Ireland.

McGrath, Keith (1981)
I am an artist from and based in Sligo Town. I am primarily a landscape artist with oil paint being my preferred medium, but I also use acrylic and watercolour. I enjoy creating abstract paintings, and portraits, either of people or pets. I also enjoy drawing and try to incorporate other techniques such as print-making when I get the opportunity. Finally, I also like digital artwork, and I’m a keen photographer. I am happy to live in county Sligo as it is a fantastic place full of inspiration. I would be more than happy to produce an artwork on request. See my Facebook page here for details: Keith McGrath Art

McGuire, Michael (1956)
Michael McGuire, originally from Co Kerry, now lives in Wexford and has painted there full-time since 2007.

He has always had a love of nature and is drawn to wild, remote places. But, as a painter mainly concerned with capturing light effects, he also enjoys the challenge of finding beauty in mundane subject matter.

McNamee, Martin (1951)
Self taught landscape artist.
I was born in Sion Mills, County Tyrone. From an early age I was interested in drawing but this fell by the wayside for awhile because of health issues and life in general. Then in 2008 I was diagnosed with cancer. I started painting to distract myself and my passion and desire awoke again. I promised myself if I survived I would have an exhibition and give 50% of any sale to my local hospitals. Fortunately I sold a few paintings and was able to keep my promise. I have been offered another exhibition in the near future which I am preparing for at the moment. This should take place within the next few months. My main medium is oil paints although I have also used acrylics and water colours. I love painting landscapes and soon will be venturing outside to get “en Plein air” projects done.
