You've done a wonderful job here, Jacki... such a great mood, and peaceful sky. The boat gives us an idea of the size. Is the castle whole, or is this just the remainder? It is odd to see it built up like a tower and no additions...
Artist Reply: thanks again Libbe (spelt it right this time!). Someone once told me that Mayo has the biggest skies in the world - I'm inclined to believe it!
Quaint serene quiet setting you have captured, great job. The rocks along the shore stand out to me while the castle has some mystery to it, its small yet towering, who lived here?
Artist Reply: Thanks for you kind comments Steven. The castle was home to Grace O'Malley or Granuaile, the legendary "Pirate Queen of Co. Mayo". She was a lady who embodied the phrase "girlpower" some 400 years before the Spice Girls cpined the phrase :o)
