Swallows Dance Over St Peter's Cathedral
The Belfast Series — acrylic on canvas, 2026 Kerry Ellen Three swallows in full flight above St Peter's Cathedral, Belfast. Navy blue wings, white bellies, red throat flashes. Free, joyful and utterly alive. This is the painting at the heart of The Belfast Series. Where the seascape works capture light and drama, this piece captures the birds themselves — just as they are, just as they have always been. Swallows have nested in old stones for centuries. They know sacred ground. Inspired by a family swallow tattoo carried across a world war and a lifetime, these three birds carry personal history lightly, the way swallows do — with speed and grace and no looking back. Original acrylic on canvas, 60 x 50 cm. Signed. Supplied with artist's statement on reverse. Unframed. Ready to hang.
