I am still relatively new to learning Gaeilge. Still I cannot resist trying to title the paintings about Eire in Gaeilge. During our cycle tour of Eire we visited the far West of….and to use it’s more ancient name… Ciarraighe – Whilst there we stood transfixed watching a terrific Atlantic storm, as I had done so many years ago when involved in a student exchange. It was during that visit when painting really started to become something….more…the experience has stayed with me over the years and there are no words to give it it’s proper import. It always has been a deep connection with nature…..and my roots……
For quite a while I thought this painting was finished…..well I had another chat with it over the last few weeks and brought it more into for want of a better word……focus. This is the second painting about our cycle tour of Eire.
Can’t wait to go back……

Visit to an uninhabited Island
The Isle of Tean…….an interesting place, and the first time visiting one of the Isles of Scilly uninhabited Islands.
