Tilting at windmills

oil, 6 x 8
We went looking for some of the sites for the proposed giant windmills around Westmeath and found some great bog locally , the specks are dust from the bog - very hot and windy but wonderful colours and hard to pick one subject

Comment by deirdre shanny on June 10, 2013 at 18:50: Wow norah.love it,.

Comment by Norah Blount on June 10, 2013 at 10:27: Thank you Sean, Sally, Patrick and Deirdre

Deirdre - sorry not to have met you in Carna but maybe next time

Sally - it has all the signs of one done very quickly but not confidently (that might happen in another 20 years) , only one brush and a palette knife and I still get some of the colours muddy but my excuse was an impatient husband this time ! I couldnt make it to Delvin on sat so I got out there yesterday instead - but the nicest places are very isolated except for a few frogs and the cuckoo that Sean captured

Comment by Deirdre Walsh on June 10, 2013 at 8:32: Indigo notes...Norah. Lovely...

Comment by Patrick T Daly on June 10, 2013 at 8:32: Well done Norah I can smell the turf drying in the Sun. Sorry to have missed this paint out

but I had something on.

Comment by Sally Downey on June 9, 2013 at 23:10: Smashing painting Norah. Oozing confidence. and very impressed by the literary allusions.

Comment by Sean Quinn on June 9, 2013 at 18:39: Love the very affirmative brushwork, with individual strokes giving individual sods. A lovely painting, Norah. We need the good Don, to get rid of these windmill monsters from some of our loveliest landscapes.

Comment by Norah Blount on June 9, 2013 at 18:28: Just then they came in sight of thirty or forty windmills that rise from that plain. And no sooner did Don Quixote see them that he said to his squire, "Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we ourselves could have wished. Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them. With their spoils we shall begin to be rich for this is a righteous war and the removal of so foul a brood from off the face of the earth is a service God will bless."
