Now, this place I know! We stayed in this area for a few days and visited Kylemore Abbey. This looks just like it! Absolutely stunning! :)

Artist Reply: Thanks for all the lovely postivie comment Patricia - I'll try to answer them with reference to each painting. I'm glad you think this is a good representation of Kylemore Abbey - its such an over the top neo-gothic building - when you get the right weather, the reflections in the lake are stunning.

Charming! Makes me want to visit the spot. Michele Feinberg

Artist Reply: Thanks again Michele...............the painting really doesn't adequately portray the location here..............this fabulous building is set right in the heart of connemara which (in my very biased opinion) is one of the most beautiful places on earth :o))

This is amazing. What a fantastic scene!

Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind comments, Ross. There's a bit of a loss of definition in this photo of the painting (good enough with a brush, rubbish with a camera, I'm afraid) but this building is pure neo-gothic madness and the location is wonderful :o)
