Back to Connemara but this time we leave the coast and waters behind. It’s a cottage. As the title suggests, this is not the first time I’ve painted a cottage in west County Galway. It’s because they keep building them with great backdrops. This one was somewhere between Renvyle and Kylemore, and when I saw the ridge behind it littered with five million rocks – I saw music. The sheer number of rocks, their arrangement as they cascade down to another hill where a cottage sits, well all those rocks as the light hits them, the clouds coming and going as the greys of the rocks light up and change colour, they just play the most magnificent music as sight and sound blend.

So I was obviously going to paint it. Plus the cottage inevitably overlooks a bog. What a place to die happy.

UPDATE: This painting is now SOLD.
