A Kerryman, Saint Brendan the Navigator, has a great statue in west Cork. Down at the end of Wolfe Tone Square facing the daunting Atlantic Ocean – or well, Whiddy Island and Bantry Bay, he stands aloft in his little leather boat of bronze, up on a limestone plinth with his arms outstretched, afraid not of sea monsters or Celtic waves. I obviously like it very much, and have stared up at it quite a lot. I think the statue is by the sculptor Imogen Stuart, and I’m very happy with this painting of it – albeit not overly happy with the photo of my painting.
