Acrylics on paper. Another of Co. Mayo's old abandoned cottages. What I wanted to capture here was the strong sunlight on the front of the house against the brooding, stormy sky beyond,

Now this is an Irish painting! Just lovely, Jacki.

Artist Reply: Thanks a mill David.............even when the sun is shining, the rain is never far away.....still, if we didn't have so much rain, the land wouldn't be so beautifully green :o))
