"The Distant Skelligs"

9x12 Oil

In July, 2007 I took a workshop in Ireland with artist Brian Murphy from Virginia. Brian and his wife and four artists stayed in a great little B&B called Shelane owned by Mary and her husband, Tom, who was a local police officer. Barbara Mastaglio the workshop coordinator lived on Valentia Island in a hilltop house with wonderful views of the surrounding water and Portmagee. This painting is one of those views.
