    Title: Gathering Turf by the Shore Medium: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed Lower Right Provenance: Private Collection Framed Description This oil painting by Maurice Wilks captures a group harvesting turf along a shoreline, set against a luminous backdrop of mountain and water. Executed in Wilks’ well-known impressionist idiom, the scene is both pastoral and industrious. The brushwork is brisk, the palette earthy and gentle, evoking a landscape shaped as much by human labour as by natural rhythms.

    Title: Cottages at Glen District, Co. Donegal Medium: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed lower left & titled verso Provenance: Combridge Fine Arts, Dublin (Label Verso); Private Collection Framed Description In Cottages, Glen District, Donegal, Maurice Wilks presents a picturesque vision of Ireland’s northwest, capturing the timeless charm of a rural Donegal hamlet. The scene likely features a cluster of whitewashed, thatched cottages nestled amid the rolling greenery of the Glen district, a locality renowned for its natural beauty. Wilks, a master of plein-air technique, bathes the composition in the clear, soft light unique to the Irish countryside. The cottage walls gleam in hues of sunlit ivory against a backdrop of emerald fields and distant blue hills. A narrow path, worn by footsteps and flanked by wildflowers, draws the eye into the village, where one can almost imagine turf smoke drifting from chimneys and the faint echo of country life. Wilks’s brushwork is confident and painterly: the foreground grasses and foliage are rendered with brisk, impressionistic dabs of green and ochre, while the sturdy forms of the cottages are delineated more solidly, anchoring the landscape. Above, the sky is an open expanse of high clouds and pale azure, completed in broad swathes of paint that convey a breezy day. The overall effect is one of serenity and nostalgia – a lovingly observed snapshot of Donegal in bygone days. Wilks’s signature in the lower corner confirms his authorship of this idyllic vista, a classic subject that speaks to the heart of Irish identity and the artist’s own fondness for the region he painted throughout his career.
