Enniskillen Island - Barry McAdam

“Forthill Park is one of my favourite places.  I still remember when it was reopened in the 80s and I got to go up for the first time.  It was like flying and my nerves were shot. 

In painting this oil on canvas piece I set up a composition from above the monument.  With drone footage now this perspective can be viewed, but at the time I painted this, it could only be imagined.  I love perspective and this was a great challenge as I only had photos from below to base it on.

The view is largely as seen, but there is a lot of imagination added in. I was trying really hard to make it look believable and that the Lough and the Island looked real.  I struggled with the sky for over a year.  One day I tried to capture a changeable autumn day with rain coming from the west and it worked!”
