"Cliffs of Clare" by

Oils on canvas (sold).

After visiting Doolin, I tried to remember the cliffs Cliffs of Moher in County clare) and painted this scene from my memory.

Strong sunset, I know. This painting was done soon after we moved to Clare from Dublin and I think the memories of African sunsets were still strong in my mind.

Nevertheless, I soon learned that these sunsets are not so unusual albeit more tinged with lilacs and purples.
