There is a unique architectural gem, perched upon the high cliffs above the shores of the north Derry coastline. High on the cliffs is an elegant roman-style round temple; a beautiful rotunda. It is a wonderful surprise. There is none other in Ireland. It looks out across Lough Foyle to Donegal to the north and on a clear day the Scottish Isles can be seen to the north-east. This remarkable building is Mussenden Temple built by the Earl Bishop Frederick Hervey of Derrry.
Inspiration from the Sperrins. These mountains are mostly moorland and blanket bog. It’s a sparse roling landscape. Populated by sheep, bog grass (Eriophorum angustifolium) and muddy SUVs, and farmhouses, old and new.
Some old farm buildings have long-been abandoned by people but are still used for farm equipment and shelter for sheep. So long as there is a tin roof, the walls will last years and years.
The robots are coming for our Art. Many artists are losing their ability to make a living thanks to AI Art and we will all be poorer financially and creatively for it. Here’s why its a problem and what we can do about it.
Happy Easter – Here’s a quick catch up of my latest news and new work.
Lovely
Thank you!
Strong paintings supported by confident drawing – well done
Thnak you for your kind words, Richard
These are beautiful paintings…and very calming. I like the abstractions which are formed by these gentle shapes.
Thank you, Janet.
I am a fan of the minimalist approach. I always like the color in your work and this approach makes that stand out even more. That’s just my non-artists opinion!🤣
I appreciate all comments from artists and non-artists alike, Leueen! Thank you.
Aren’t a couple of those recent sales of your new triptych paintings? Anyway, congrats on all the sales. Homes everywhere are being beautified by your art…!
Quite possibly, I am not sure which ones you mean (Tenby or Gola?) Thank you anyway for your kind words!
Well, I’m not sure which area, but the last yellow block on this post – upper right and lower left paintings.
Morning Emma….my guests from S. Dakota just left….it was a wonderful visit but always good to get my space back again.
I agree with the comment about your work being ‘calming’. It has a sense of silence, serenity and tranquility…..
Congratulations on the sales…. Janet.
