Acrylics on paper (10x14ins) This ruin stands on the hillside beside Burrishoole Abbey on an inlet of Clew Bay. It may well have been part of the abbey complex at some stage but now it stands apart, fenced off from the other ruins ,and is something of a mystery to me. In the background on the right, you can see Croagh Patrick on the horizon, on the other shore of the bay.

Jacki, this is lovely, so soft and love how you have captured the ruins. Ruins are my favorite things to explore. Well done.

Jacki, this painting is beautiful. I love the flowers in the foreground. Splendid.

Artist Reply: Thankyou Brenda..............the flowers were the only addition to the actual scene............I thought they'd give the foreground a bit more interest :o))
