Dingle Town, Fishing Boat; Ireland series



8"x8" oil on cradled hardwood panel

"Wisdom is the comb given to a man after he has lost his hair."
- J.P. Dunleavy


Ha!- I love the quote...perhaps that's why we're so willing to share what-ever 'wisdom' we have....(we think we don't need it anymore?).

My 'travels' at the easel brought me back to Dingle, where I arrived with my friend last May. Even though we paint every day while we visit, there's still so much more, so I bring home photos, notes, memories....and create more from all of those.

These little boats look so small to be out on the open ocean, but they are amazing work-boats! I am in awe of what they're capable of!
