Welcome

Welcome to Joe Murphy's art.

I am Nova Scotian artist here on the Atlantic coast of Canada. Much of my art reflects my love for the beauty of this rugged, maritime province and of the people who live here.

Most of the art shown here has already been sold, donated or was commissioned. I would be happy to hear from anyone who likes my style of art and would like a piece of art created for your personal enjoyment or as a special gift for someone.

You go First- A conversation between a telephone pole and a fireplug in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.  Acrylic on canvas



You Go First (side view)-  This painting was done on a gallery frame canvas, so it's worth seeing who's driving that bicycle.  Acrylic on canvas.




Seumas Chun a' Chladach- One of Cape Breton's foremost proponents of Gaelic culture standing in his stomping ground, opposite the Nova Scotia Highland Village in Iona.  Charcoal on toned paper



Gaelic Day at St FXU-  MI at St Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, NS.  This was my first attempt at an "alla prima" (all at once) portrait.  Approx 8" X 10 ", finished in one hour and fifteen minutes.  Oil on canvas.
