Poulnabrone dolmen is a 5,000 year old portal tomb in the limestone Burren area of County Clare, Ireland. The dolmen consists of a massive flat capstone supported on several upright pillars, and would originally have been covered by a mound of earth. Archeological excavations found several traces of human remains at the burial site, which now stands as a stark reminder of an ancient civilisation. Looking back through the mists of time, who knows what ancient religious rites took place at this barren and windswept scene?

Oil painting on canvas (sold). “Irish Cottage” shows life in Ireland many, many years ago. I saw an old photograph of this cottage and adapted the scene as I imagined it. The woman sits outside, catching a few rays of sunshine while her husband, most likely a fisherman takes a break. A small pile of peat is stacked against the wall and the thatched roof is in need of repair. Imagination is such a wonderful tool for an artist! Our little Irish cottage in the lovely county Clare must have looked like this one! Wildlife, landscapes and Irish life paintings by Avril Brand

Oil Painting on canvas (24×30 inches) The Cape Buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. And one of the most interesting to paint. Mean, tough and unpredictable, even lions are wary of taking him on.

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. Wildlife, landscapes and Irish life paintings by Avril Brand Clare Art Blog

One of the beauty spots of Ireland and a must for any visitor. I enjoyed painting the Abbey and spent many happy hours with a tiny brush on windows on turrets. The original is oils on canvas 20×26 inches Originally called Kylemore Castle, it was built between 1863 and 1868 as a private home for the family of Mitchell Henry, a wealthy politician from Manchester, England who was also MP for Galway County from 1871 to 1885. After the death of his wife Margaret in 1875, Mitchell did not spend much time there. He and his wife are both buried in the small mausoleum near the church in the grounds of the abbey. Notable features of the abbey are the neo-Gothic church (built between 1877 and 1881), a miniature replica of Norwich Cathedral, made from local green Connemara marble, and the Victorian walled garden. The abbey houses a secondary girls’ boarding school, Kylemore Abbey International Girls’ School. The house and gardens are open to the public. The nuns have decided to close the school in 2010, although they do not plan to sell the property and will continue to reside there. The name Kylemore originates from the Irish words Coill Mór – meaning Great Wood. Wildlife, landscapes and Irish life paintings by Avril Brand Clare Art Blog

This painting of a stone bridge was a lot fun to do. There are so many old bridges in Ireland so this bridge became symbolic of all the lovely old bridges I have seen. So, somewhere in Ireland, I imagine, there is a stone bridge that looks like this one.

Named ‘George’s Head’ because it resembled the old King’s features, this is a landmark of great beauty in County Clare, Ireland. Long walks along the beach all the way around the Cliffs and views that take your breath away. I have long believed the the area around Loop Head is the most beautiful in Ireland.

Acrylics on canvas (16×24inches). (sold) I love summertime in Ireland. Although our garden is quite a mess now because renovating our little cottage left us with very little time to pay attention to the garden, there are lots of flowers. Lilies and hydrangeas, even the odd tiger lily pops up between stones and overgrown weeds. The liles are real… the vase, glassy surface and little bowl exists only in my imagination.

Oil painting of Scattery Island.(sold). I spent one of the most wonderful days on Scattery Island. Deserted now, the very stones and ruins are saturated with history. Located approximately one mile off Kilrush, Scattery Island is home to a monastic settlement founded in the early 6th century by St. Senan who was born locally and was named after the mythical monster on the Island. Now uninhabited there are many ruins on the island including those of seven churches, a unique 10th century round tower (one of the highest in Ireland – featured in the painting next to the church) and a holy well which is said to have healing qualities – its water was enjoyed by the inhabitants of the island for many centuries. Scattery has had many invasions down through the centuries; the Vikings invaded during the early 9th century but Brian Boru later recaptured the island. The graveyards and ruins are very special as there are still people living in Cappa who were inhabitants on Scattery Island.

Oil painting on canvas (20×26inches). A wonderful old lady in Kilrush showed me an old calender with this photograph taken during the late 1800’s. It was hard to distinguish any features and everything was blurry but I could not resist trying to paint the scene. Of course, with a bit of artistic license as I had no idea what colours to use except for my visit to Scattery Island. All the buildings are now in ruins but I found some references through the library and I hope I did justice to the Island and the people on the photograph (as well as the donkey!) Painting this was a fascinating project and I found myself mesmerised by the little girl standing to the right hand side. While the adults pose, this little girl is caught at a strange moment. She is staring at the photographer (or artist) strangely – as if to say. “Intruder” The community is no longer there and I wonder what happened to the little girl.

Oil painting (16×12 inches) Fishing is very popular all along the coast of Clare. County Clare (Ireland) has magnificent cliffs, from the well known cliffs of Moher to the cliffs from Kilkee to Loop Head. Fishing is a great pastime for many folks and its fascinating to see them fish from precarious heights. We had one of our most memorable moments fishing with a friend from Kilbaha.

A view inside the beautiful cellar door at Jeannert Wines in the Clare Valley, South Australia. One of Jeanneret’s Shiraz wines is labeled ‘Cowboys n Indians’ and I tried to capture the essence of that wine and the wonderful atmosphere inside in this shot. You’ll see the Cowboy and Indian posters on the back wall. / See the location of Jeanneret Wines on Google Maps

Painting of Knappogue Castle, county Clare, Ireland. This was quite a challenging painting but very enjoyable to do. It was a commission for a lady who I think wanted it for a friend who had her wedding reception here. (sold) The Knappogue Castle & Walled Garden, built in 1467, is located in County Clare, Ireland. It was built by Sean MacNamara, and is a good example of a medieval tower house. It has a long and varied history, from a battlefield to a dwelling place. In 1571 the castle became the seat of the MacNamara Clan ~ Earls of West Clancullen. Donagh MacNamara was a leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and Knappogue remained in MacNamara hands throughout the Irish Confederate Wars of the 1640s. However, after the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland (1649-53) it was confiscated by Oliver Cromwell’s parliament and granted to a ‘Roundhead’, Arthur Smith. However, after the monarchy was restored in 1660, Knappogue was returned to its MacNamara owners. In 1855, the castle was acquired by Lord Dunboyne, who continued the restoration work. Dating from 1817, the beautiful 1.248 acre (5,000 m²) garden is now restored to its former splendour. Wildlife, landscapes and Irish life paintings by Avril Brand Clare Art Blog

Acrylics on canvas I was out for a walk in my neighbourhood recently on one of those unique sunny warm days here in West Clare in Ireland. The farm animals were mostly lying down in the fields which I passed. I came to a field in which there were only calves and I stopped for a look. They looked back at me. The picture remained with me so I got out my paints and brushes and this is the end result!

Acrylics on canvas. ’..... And the price of cabbages!’ Conversations on the street between neighbours, perhaps school mates or old friends. In this picture I try to reflect life’s paths, choices taken, fate.
