Nude Paintings by Tomás O'Maoldomhnaigh
Limerick, Ireland

Tomás O’Maoldomhnaigh, born in Limerick, has been a professional portrait and landscape artist for many years. His works can be found all over Ireland and are represented on the walls of many of Ireland's top corporate companies. His paintings can be found in Africa, Australia, Europe, and United States.  He now lives and works as a full-time artist and illustrator in his adopted County Clare.

Quoted from O'Maoldomhnaigh's website

"I like to consider myself as a classical realist painter.  I greatly admire those artists with a traditional classical talent and technical skill.

"As an artist, I'm enthralled to put brush to canvas, it is at once both public and private. The world I reveal is an expression of my passion for both Classic European portraiture and the Pre-Raphaelite movement.  I'm in awe of artists such as Sargent, Alma Tadema and the American Tony Ryder.  I find the classic styles to be timeless, with a warmth and honesty not offered any more with modern movements."

"The Book of Clare," illustrated by O'Maoldomhnaigh

"The Book of Clare," written by Daniel McCarthy, is illustrated with 32 watercolors by O'Maoldomhnaigh.  Published by Cottage Publications in 2003, it is available from booksellers.

The book review below was written by Marie, a Clare County Council staff member, and published on the speech-enabled Clare County Library website.  It is included here with our thanks:

"This is a beautiful book, an inspired collaboration between artist and writer.  Daniel McCarthy’s poetic prose matches Tomás O’Maoldomhnaigh’s delicate water colours.  The book is an impressionistic trip through Clare.  It touches on people, places and events from pre-history to the present day.

"There are 32 paintings reproduced in this book depicting buildings, monuments, streets, houses and landscapes throughout the County, from Merriman’s Country to Kilkee and from Bunratty Castle to Black Head.  Each picture is accompanied by a short essay giving snippets of information about the people or customs associated with the area.

"This is a good bibliography for anyone whose interest has been whetted and who wants to discover more about Clare, its people and places.  This is a lovely book which would make a great gift for anyone from the Banner County."
