What's is Happening to the colour of my Images?

These are the second batch of images which I've noticed a radical inversing of the colours.
They are presenting as Photo Negatives on the screen can anybody suggest a solution please ?

Doggies & Pussies Galore

Just 2 days before Christmas I undertook a commission from an Actress Client of mine to do some portaits of her minagerie of Dogs and Cats, she required the first in time for Christmas Day itself so I set to work with soft pastels, a medium I haven't worked in ages, even I was surprised by the results

The second piece was of a timid Jack Russell mix called Bella, the short hair demanded a finer approach and so I set out to exicute her in Acrylic and Inks.

Only one dog and two cats to go...

Autumnal Hedgerows

In Celebration of the colours of this my favorite time of the year I have been making this series of Watercolour; Gouache and Ink sketches. They are in effect snapshots of the changing landscape as Autumn work it's magic.

It is my intention to work some of these smaller sketches up into larger canvas paintings as soon as I get an opportunity.

Heart & Home Paintings (Update)

These are some of the series of 'Hearth & Home' paintings I have been working on since February.

The addition of the gold leaf to the figures is the last major change I will be making to them.

The Gold gives a sense of something prescious to the figures as they seek shelter.

Calender Design for Tallaght Hospital 2008

In consultation with Hilary Moss - Art's Officer and a Committee from the Artist Volunteers of the Adelaide & Meath Hospital (Incorporating the National Children's Hospital), I have been working on the design layout for a Calender featuring images created by the patients during the Therapeutic Art Sessions held daily at the Hospital.

This Calendar is now on sale at the Hospital, all proceeds going the Arts Office fund and volunteer services.

Oil & Gold Leaf on Canvas

600 X 600 mm

By

Declan Mulligan BA Fine Art


This painting explores the symbolist themes of Life and Love as never ending entwined circles, in various tones and shades of violet and gold, royal colours of strength, stability, purity, and divinity.

The continuity of the Golden Ring transcends time, cultures and faiths, symbolising unity of Love between man and woman and the bond of family.

The Circle of Life, the turning of the seasons and the passing of generations all find a place here within the ring.

This piece was created as a wedding gift for some very dear friends of mine
Joe & Donna Murphy, who I’ve known for almost twenty years now. Joe and I played in several rock groups over the years along with his brothers Ken and Kevin all of whom I consider as brothers.

I wanted the piece to feature a strong symbolist motif which would reflect Joe and Donna’s union, and which would fit in with their aesthetic sense.

The application of the gold leaf over the oil paint proved rather more difficult than in the past, because of the heavy impasto nature of the painting.

The tearing of the gold leaf as it was applied gave a very interesting effect to it's overall appearance on the finished piece.

Sky Sea Land (Diptycth) Private Commission

Sky Sea Land (Diptycth - Canvases 1500 x 700 mm)

Oil and Oil Pastal

These Canvases were commissioned by a client for his suburban appartment, he oringinally lived the north of the country and travelled to Donegal quite a bit. his brief was for something which captured the sense of a Northwestern Sunset without being too photo-realistic and that gave mood colour to room in the way a large colour field painting could.
