Breon O’Casey, although a master of several art disciplines such as jewellery, sculpture and weaving, primarily saw himself as a painter. On this the artist said:
"I am an abstract painter, closer, in my work, to the older definition of a still life painter than a landscape painter. A painter, that is, who works best in the confines of his studio, and who sees the world through a collection of pots and pans, apples and oranges (or circles, triangles and squares) rather than the fields, trees and skies. To look outside at the vast vista of unending landscape flowing in all directions, is for me too difficult to try and get down on paper. I shut the door and work in my windowless studio."

In this painting, Breon O’Casey has drawn on nature’s simple, rhythmic forms as this female head blends into the background, almost becoming one with the forest which surrounds her. A subtle colourist, the different shades of green have a special richness and harmony, and contribute intense luminosity and depth to the work. The painting remains soft yet linear and the surprise of a piercing blue eye enlivens O’Casey’s creation.
