Bend on the Derry, Clonegal

First one on Sunday at a SEPA paint-out in Clonegal. I was drawn to the sharp contrast in the water as well as the repeated patches of pink (broad leafed willowherb - I think). Thankfully, the day remained dry, albeit overcast.

It's oil on 14" x 11" MDF board.

Comment by Tony Robinson on September 29, 2015 at 19:33: One of our favourite haunts, Ireland's tidiest village in 2015, congratulations Clonegal. If there was a prize for the most paintable, it would probably win that, too, as this super example shows...

Comment by Sheila Mac Nally on September 1, 2015 at 19:43: I've been telling the kids about the exploding pods but haven't been able to show them yet as they always seem to be on a dangerous roadside- tempted to take them to Clonegal to see them!

Comment by Michael McGuire on September 1, 2015 at 19:37: Thanks Sheila. And you're so right, the chap who writes the arts column in the Irish Times on Saturdays chatted to me last year in Graiguenamanagh while I was painting them. I remembered he told me they were from somewhere in Asia and gave me the name too, but it washed over me!

Comment by Sheila Mac Nally on September 1, 2015 at 19:32: Very lovely. The plant is Himalayan Balsam if it's the ones with the popping seed heads and pink flowers that were there
