Ejectment II; A Ghastly Silence Ensues... This is a painting that the Artist finished in the studio just before Christmas, having started it during his annual visit to the Black Valley near Killarney in Kerry. There had been a huge outcry back then in 2017 in respect of the high numbers of homeless people, and indeed families...near 9,000 persons at that time in the Republic of Ireland without a home or living in sub-standard accommodation. The Financial Institutions are continuing to pursue families in the Courts with 'evictions' being the end product in many cases. 'Ejectment' was the common term for 'evictions' back in the 1800's...somehow, very little has changed. The oil painting is on Canvas Board. A set of limited edition prints, signed and 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.
