The Secret Garden

Painting today in the wonderful grounds of Maynooth university - such beautiful delphiniums and iris's in the walled garden but I had decided I wanted to do some buildings - being in the middle of wonderful spires and architecture but having decided it all looked too hard I found this little hidden garden with bee hives ! Thanks Sally for the badly needed chocolate and Sean for taking the photos !

Comment by barbara craig on June 11, 2012 at 6:31: lovely and interesting subject and composition

Comment by Sean Quinn on June 10, 2012 at 13:53: Title is brillant and very apt. I can hear the murmur of innumerable bees. Lovely painting, Norah.

Comment by neil moynihan on June 10, 2012 at 11:21: Lovely balance of warm colours and greens and blues Norah.

I think I can hear the honey bees at work!!!!!

Beautiful painting.

Comment by Tomas King on June 10, 2012 at 8:33: Well done Norah, a lovely painting. The subject would have appealed to me too.

Comment by Alison Fox on June 9, 2012 at 21:43: Simply beautiful no need to say anymore except for a big thank you for today.

Comment by Sally Downey on June 9, 2012 at 21:11: Norah, this is a wonderful job. Lovely cool blues and warm yellows bringing us into the bee hives. Those bees should be very happy among the 'flowery grass'. Have a look at Renoir's A Path through the Long Grass.

This can take its place with the best of them.

Many thanks Norah for bringing us to Maynooth. Beautiful gardens, full of possibilities not to mention the environs. And a big thank you for ferrying us around and for putting us on the right path home.
