'On The Road from Coolea' is an oil on paper that the Artist painted during May and June of 2016. It depicts a homely scene just beyond the village of Coolea in West Cork on the old road towards Kilgarvan in County Kerry. This image was featured on the poster for a solo exhibition that was detailed for the month of June 2016 at the Briary Gap Cultural Centre in Macroom. Unfortunately, there was a fire in the building on the proposed first day of the exhibition and the Centre has been forced to close its doors as a result. It is due to re-open towards the end of 2023. Thankfully, no one was injured and there was no damage done to any paintings that were on the premises at the time of the fire. A set of limited edition prints, signed & stamped by the artist, is available; email the artist for full details.

Mícheál Ó'Muirthile is a national prize-winning artist from Ireland whose forte includes equine art, landscape and portraiture paintings & drawings. His work is in private collections throughout Ireland, England, continental Europe, America, Canada, Australia and the Middle East. 


He is greatly influenced by his local place and by the immense pool of inspirational detail that is available throughout the island of Ireland.

“The artist..........is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers.” These wise words by Augustus John, R.A., could not be bettered in providing a mental picture of where the artist Mícheál Ó’Muirthile centres his creativity.

He currently lives in the beautiful Lee Valley, in Macroom town, near Cork City in Ireland.  His people hailed from south of Dunmanway nearby to Ballinacarriga Castle, the seat of the Ó’Muirthile Clan in West Cork.
