Ballycarbery Castle at Sunset, Ireland

Ballycarbery Castle at Sunset, Ireland 12″ x 18″ oil on canvas

$600.00

So…here’s a new one I just put the finishing touches on today. It’s something different for me, as I usually don’t paint landscapes. But I was in love with this reference photo. I took it on my trip to Ireland, in 2009, and I still remember what the day smelled like! Warm sun on hay, horse manure, salt air from the ocean. I had so much anticipation of actually reaching the castle itself, so I could explore, and it was about a five mile walk…There was a little black and white kitty that was rubbing itself on my legs while I was taking photos, and the hedge on the right hand side was amazing. It was fuschia, which I didn’t even know grew like a hedge! It was about five feet tall, and went for miles along the side of the road. Beautiful!

Prints will be available from my etsy shop in the next few days…

Cheers!
Oh! I almost forgot! Mojo377creations of etsy, featured my painting “Owl in the Mist” in her etsy treasury today…It’s called “I met Alice Last Night”, and is a clever and beautiful collection of Alice-in-Wonderland themed handmade items. Check it out HERE.

After a tumultuous past as a goat milker, laundress, fine art major, waitress and restaurant owner, I've now downscaled to running my own Cafe/Gallery in an effort to maintain a social life and make a few bucks. I live a ridiculously idyllic existence in a fairytale village called Bella Coola on the West Coast of British Columbia with my charming musician husband, two amazingly creative children, and a dog whose favourite past time is eating rotten dead fish and rolling in poo. In my not so spare time I love to invent healthy whole food recipes, write YA fiction, play guitar, or curl up in my favourite chair with a great book and a gigantic mug of strong black coffee, all while daydreaming of living in Ireland...
