Some faces tell a story before a single word is spoken.

My pencil portrait print of the legendary Irish explorer Tom Crean...one of my most popular prints to date.

Drawn in graphite, I wanted to capture the resilience, determination and quiet strength of one of Ireland's greatest heroes.

Whether you're a fan of Irish history, polar exploration, or simply appreciate detailed pencil art, this print makes a unique addition to any home or office.

If you'd like to own a print or know someone who would, visit my online store.... shop.art.conorkeeganart.ie

Thank you, as always, for supporting independent art—it means a lot.

There's something special about the bond between pets and their owners.

These portraits were painted to capture more than just a likeness—it was about preserving a moment in time that will never come again.

These are the memories that become family treasures.

If you have a favourite photograph you'd love turned into a portrait, I can quote you for it to start the process.

Watercolour vs Pencil Portraits – Which Is the Best Choice for Your Commission?

When commissioning a portrait from a favourite photograph, one of the first questions people ask is whether to choose a watercolour portrait or a pencil portrait. Both are timeless art forms, each offering its own unique style, mood and character.

A pencil portrait allows the smallest details to shine—from the sparkle in someone's eyes to the texture of hair or the character lines that make every face unique.

Watercolour portraits often feel lighter, more expressive and slightly more contemporary while still maintaining a traditional handcrafted quality.
