Painting trip!

Greetings! I am a painter from New York/CT USA... it is my dream to come back to Ireland to paint en plein air - I am aiming for this August, possible Co. Kerry. If anyone has any advice to offer re places to stay or great spots to paint, I would be thrilled. My email is lorraine.lewin@comcast.net and I do plan to rent a car but of course would love a location where I don't always need it!
