Bringing in the Currach

I decided to post a couple of photographs that I intend to use for paintings. This one will be a homage to my favourite painting of Co. Mayo - Launching The Currach by Paul Henry, although this photo is at Roonagh Pier whereas the original painting was Keem Bay on Achill.

You make all of these places 'beckon' irresistibly to the viewer.

This is gorgeous!!! What a lovely place to have been to take the photo. Well done.

Artist Reply: Thankyou Tammy.........we often take a wander here to watch the local seals and, when we're very lucky, the dolphins :o))

I see you have a love for the ocean, both photos are very nice. After looking at your other works, I am sure you will do a fine job on these. Jim C. PS did you get the lighthouse photo I sent you .

Artist Reply: HI James.............thanks for the kind encouragement............for some reason the lighthouse picture didn't automatically open on the email like the others so I only just found it..........I immediately thought that the boat photographs would be super to paint but the lighthouse was nothing short of breathtaking...the way the building rises out of the mist is gorgeous...it really is stunning :o))

I SEE THIS COAST IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THE CORNISH COAST. FANTASTIC CAPTURE, JACKI.

Artist Reply: Thanks for your comments on both Sharon..........i guess now you can see why i felt such a connection with the lovely shots of Cornwall you posted :o))
