Down By The Sea, St. Finan's Bay, Ireland, Palette Knife Oil Paintings by Roxanne Steed (sold)
12"x16" oil on Belgian linen mounted on archival panel (Raymar)
"On some island I long to be,
a rocky promontory, looking on the coiling surface of the sea.
To see the waves, crest on crest of the great shining ocean, composing a hymn to the creator, without rest."
-St. Columcille (521-597)
This one is getting wrapped up to go to a new collector today. It's one of my favorite views in Kerry County....and usually has this wonderful 'mysterious' fog that settles over this area- it is so hauntingly beautiful to me.
Thursday, I did work on sketches for a commission...of a scene in Ireland, so the place has been on my mind lately!
****Another bit of good news I'd like to share; I have a painting in the "Twenty Years of Fine Art" 20th Anniversary Gala & Invitational at the Artists Gallery in Virginia Beach. It's a plein air painting done in Chincoteague, Virginia. Well, I just found out that a portion of the painting is used in the header on the gallery's website:

A lovely painting Roxanne. It depicts the Irish landscape so well. Almost looks like a water colour. Congrats also on getting a painting into the Virginia Beach exhibition!
Thanks Sheila. This place is almost always socked-in with fog...but then I guess that's part of it's romantic appeal (makes me think of an old novel perhaps?).
