Throughout the late sixties and seventies Armstrong painted at least four
known works titled Ebb-Tide. The present example is most likely the last
in that series, exhibited in 1980 at Gallery 22 on St. Stephen’s Green. In
reviewing this show, Desmond MacAvock noted that “all the paintings
are of the rocky foreshore of the sea. Sometimes the view is across a bay
with a hill on the far shore, but usually the subject is the pools and
seaweed-festooned rocks weaving across the sands towards the distant
sea” (Irish Times, 12 May 1980). He also noted the earthy palette of the
works in that show - “browns, dark blues, sands coloured by the setting
sun” - all of which aptly describes the present work.
€2,000-€3,000 (£1,680-£2,520 approx)
