“It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.”
-George Eliot

Painting these wonderful places & scenes from my travels in Ireland is such joyful escapism for me. When I'm in the middle of a painting, it's like I am transported to another place. I remember my surroundings, the look, the feel of the air, the sounds & smells of the land. Can you tell I miss the place?
