Clifden Painting (Galway)

Painting: “Clifden”

I like shapes. And I like the shapes of Clifden. Who, I ask you, doesn’t love a triangular square? This is Market Square. People seem to like Clifden because of the good times they’ve had there. I’d be in that camp. People like Clifden a lot.

Surrounded by ridiculous scenery, the town known as the “capital of Connemara” is a coastal town tucked in between the foothills of the Twelve Bens and the Atlantic Ocean. Since I painted this the statue of Alcock and Brown has been added to the square in front of the obelisk.
