A Scottish-born artist has created a painting using only Heinz sauce to celebrate this weekend's All-Ireland final clash between Dublin and Kerry.

The painting by Steve Doogan shows Kerry's James O'Donoghue and Dublin's Cian O'Sullivan in action. The two are set to meet for real at Croke Park on Sunday.

Steve Doogan is a Scottish-born illustrator, drawer and print maker hailing from Glasgow but has been based in Dublin for the past 14 years. He is celebrated internationally for his distinct style of portraiture.

Speaking about his latest painting, Mr Doogan said: "Working with Heinz on this project has been a really interesting and rewarding experience. It's certainly been a challenge having to work with such an unusual medium, but with every creative opportunity that comes my way I keep an open mind and try to enjoy the ride."
