I had the pleasure of being in Ireland for an arts residency with Atelier Arts in April 2024.. My first time away after eight years of being a caregiver to my mother. I was so happy to be there. When I wasn't touring the beautiful counrtyside with the other artists or laying down in the grass, I was painting. Enjoy!

These majestic pine trees were on a small island in the middle of westcove part of the Westcove Manor land. I fell in love with them and painted this quickly in the rain. There are even salty Irish rain drops in the sky from painting in the rain. Oh, Ireland!
