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,
Artist Reply: Thankyou Olga.................i really wanted to get the way that the last of the sunlight heigthens the colours in the landscape, just before the storm hits :o))
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))
Lovely painting. Ireland is so beautiful. I like the storminess and the cottage so much. It has much ambience.
Artist Reply: Thanks a mill, Sandra, for your lovely comments...........It was the contrast between the sunshine in the foreground and the brooding sky I was trying for............and I just love these old homesteads :o))
Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind comments on "Storm Brewing". The weather here on the West coast of Ireland can change in minutes, and I wanted to catch the brief moment between sunlight and a heavy downpour.
Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind comments on "Storm Brewing" Anne. I love these old cottages - I feel that each one has its own history and story to tell :o)
