Landscape format. On a sunny blue sky day a blue rowing boat, paint peeling, sits on a small mound of lime coloured grass. A few metres past it a stream, or narrow inlet, runs across the painting. The far half of the water is full of floating orange seaweed with some dark rocks protruding. Along its side is a lone of rocks. black and brown where they meet the seaweed and grey on top. Above the bank is a large area of gorse, a dense dark green bush with small yellow blossoms. The gorse reaches half way across from the left edge. Back a few more metres in the centre of the painting is a warm grey outbuilding with a blue corrugated roof and two small dark windows. Rocky hills stretch behind it with a house behind a small orange hill on the left, and a larger house further back on the right also nestled behind a mound. Both houses have dark trees behind them. Larger rocky hills are behind them, and at the back across the painting is a line of pale blue rocky mountains.

Connemara Boat (Galway)

Painting: “Connemara Boat” (County Galway)  

Ì loved this scene when I came upon it while cycling in Connemara. It was like all the elements of Conamara coming together to make a perfect composition. Oh, I’m going to paint you, I said into the sunny air. I know, replied my bike. But it took me a while – because, well, it was involved.
