Donegal Town!

When we first drove into the town of Donegal – it’s also the most northern county of Ireland – Paul immediately recognized it! It’s an iconic town – laid out in a grid called The Diamond – and centered around the still-standing, ancient castle of one of the legends of Ireland, Hugh “Red” O’Donnell and his queen Nuala and his 15^th century kingdom. This week’s painting is from the core of the town, the Donegal Bridge, 7” x 10”, and at 500 years old, it is still a vital, integral part of the town landscape.
