Ah, so this is Co. Clare! Ireland in the summertime must be a sight! I would love to visit, especially Co.Clare. Is this anywhere near Six Mile Bridge?

Thank you for the comments - I loved those foreground grasses and didnt get time to do do another one with these as the focal point, such a great year for grass even if it did rain so much !

Great work from Clare Nora. Thanks for your comments re my Delvin paintings. Yes I loved it in the bog

around Delvin. I will have to go up again as it's not that far for me to travel. After the paint out I went to

Fore and had an amazing few hours there. I climbed the rocky hill and the views were breathtaking. I think
 it is defenitely a possible location for a paint out and it is not really much further than Delevin.

This is a beauty Norah. As Sean says the zig zag and its continuation in the ridge on the mountain.  Nice shadow on the mountain.  And the understated grasses in the foreground - wanted to do that in Delvin Bog but couldn't do it so hat off to you.

That's a good painting, Norah - the eye goes straight to the focal area. I've heard the foreground area of a painting described as the "no fly zone", as in keep out of there! So you definitely did the right thing by keeping this area understated.
