The Tossers
acrylic on paper
“The caber toss is a staple of the Kilmarning Games and a real crowd pleaser. The aim is to throw the caber end over end. The person performing this is called a “thrower” or “tosser”. This painting is about the tossers at the Kilmarning Games – the man in the foreground holding the shotgun, next to the 4×4 with the driver ploughing through the bagpipers – just behind them, there are the tossers.”
