Blasket Islands View, Dingle, Ireland; plein air



8"x10" oil on Belgian linen mounted on gatorboard

"Ireland is where strange tales begin and happy endings are possible."
- Charles Haughey


On Thursday morning while still in Dingle, we walked down the road from Slea Head Farm where we had stayed, to paint a morning view of the Blasket Islands. It is so interesting to see the light change in this beautiful place. That day the early morning light had some delicate pinks in the sky near the horizon. We had spent time walking on the beach the afternoon before & now were up high above it, looking across the ocean. The water is so clean and clear, you can peer into the kelp beds deep below and watch the waves gather in dark bands of energy approaching the shore.
