R253 Cottage

I’m getting ready for a month-long exhibit at the artZ Gallery in Amery, WI, beginning February 1, 2019. As a featured artist, my plan is to have at least 20 new paintings ready for the display. It’s a challenge that I’m enjoying so far, but in order for Paul to have time to frame them, these need to be done by January 15! So far, I think I’m on track – and as you can probably guess, the core of the paintings seem to be reflecting special landmarks from our recent trip to Ireland. In our daily jaunts around Donegal County, one of our favorite drives was a wonderful winding, rural road called R253.

This week’s painting, R253 Cottage, 6” x 12” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, reflects a lovely thatched cottage along this beautiful road and nestled in the hollow of an immense rocky outcrop. It’s a typical Irish sight – the current cottage with its bright trim paint is still connected to the historic ruin.
