Irish Countryside - Oil Painting
Oils on canvas (27.5×19.5 inches) (original sold)
Autumn in Ireland… and the colours are beautiful. This is a peaceful scene depicting the Irish countryside.
However, there is always something about to happen in nature – if we just wait long enough!
Thank you to Maria Murphy for allowing me to use her lovely photo as reference for this painting!!
As usual, I love to weave a little story into a painting – I hope you like it!
