Painting of Portnoo, Donegal by Emma Cownie
My Sale Extended and Woodland birds in Donegal
It was freezing cold but the birds were very busy. There is a sign near by asking people not to feed the birds but the locals take no notice (note the bird feeder). I am glad because I loved watching the birds, especially the tiny coaltits. My camera work isn’t much good but at least you know its real and AI generated slop.

Country Road, Winter Sun (Inishowen, Donegal)
Today is the shortest day of the year. Its very dark up north here. I find it hard to sleep. When the sun appears it illuminates and reveals a verdent but slummering landscape. I am always looking for flashes of red to paint in the deepest winter. In the past it might be a coat, or a door. Today it is a red roof on an old stone cottage. The old houses are disappearing fast in this part of Ireland. That makes me sad.
