This is my most recent woodland painting of the pinewoods near Parkmill and Illston, on the Gower Peninsula.
I am taking a pause for now as we preparing to go away to Donegal, Ireland, soon. We feel in great need of a holiday.
We have not been away for a couple of years and I haven’t flown for over a decade! I am a very rusty traveller! I am really looking forward to visiting this remote corner of the Republic of Ireland.

Donegal is a big mountaneous county in a big country. Imagine my shock when I discover that it’s only the 4th largest in Ireland (after Cork, Galway and Mayo) at 4,860 km2 (1,880 sq miles). It seems even bigger as there is no railway or motorways here, so it takes a long time to travel around all the mountains. One of joys of the county is that it’s relatively empty (the 5th least populated in Ireland) with 32.6 people per km2.
Have a wonderful and relaxing time. Looking forward to seeing your work from Ireland.
Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing and painting the Donegal coast, it’s very beautiful!
A beautiful painting! Have a great and creative time on the Donegal coast.
Relax and enjoy!
So beautiful. I love the lilacs and purples, and I love the whole composition.
Happy Travels!
I’d swear your Canadian Emma! Your work reminds of “The Group Of Seven”.Tom Thompson to be exact.
Did they influence your style?
Hi Wayne, I love the work of the Group of Severn, Tom Thompson as well Americans such as Rockwell Kent and Edward Hopper. I swear I was born on the wrong side of the Atlantic (and in the wrong century)!
Love the painting! Have fun, Emma. You fully deserve some time off!
Thanks Gabriela.
I hope you have a wonderful trip. You certainly do work hard! This painting is wonderful. I would love to walk through these woods.
Thank you, Melissa
