Irene Woods Irene Woods Irene Woods works from her studios at the foot of the Cooley Mountains. She paints in oils mostly using palette knife, capturing the changing colours of the seasons, the movement of light, the soul of the people who inhabit the surrounding landscape. The marks of the knife and paint convey the texture of the subject, the ruggedness of rock and stones, the ripples in water. Colour plays and important role in her paintings, dictating the mood of a composition – be it dark stormy skies or sunlit landscape. Irene works to commission and exhibition and her work is included in many private and public collections.

Places of interest nearby Castletown Cooley is a very popular area for walking as the scenery is beautiful and the side roads are quiet.
