We've just added a bunch of paintings featuring scenes of Ireland. most are pastels, but several are watercolors. The Irish landscape, sea and sky scape begs to be painted in all media, but watercolor really expresses the rapidly changing skies, and frequent mists.
My husband Bob and I have been to Ireland several times, and have stayed at many wonderful Bed & Breakfasts . Bob has bravely taken the wheel of a rental car, and we've done alot of exploring, particularly in Cork and Clare. We're very interested in megalithic historic sites, and have traveled many a byway in search of these ancient stone circles, monuments and forts.
I have two watercolors,"Drombeg Stone Circle" and "Poulnabroune Dolmen" that depict these mysterious places. If you are interested in this sort of thing, I found an excellent website,
http://www.megalithomania.com that has very complete information on most Irish sites.
I wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I close with a sincere wish for an equitable, lasting, permanent peace in Northern Ireland.
