Blarney Castle

This is based on photos taken on a trip to Ireland that I took with my wife, Tammie, and her parents in the late 1990s. The scene is from Blarney Castle, home of the famous Blarney Stone. Yes, I did kiss it. Twice. And, yes, Ireland is a beautiful country with amazing greens in its landscapes. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to go back through our photos and do a painting based on them, but better late than never. I’m pretty happy how it turned out and it now hangs proudly in our front room, as I hope it will every March.

This is a 48” x 24” oil on canvas painted solely with painting knives. This painting was done on a 1 1/2" thick gallery wrapped canvas and ships unframed. The sides have been painted an earthy green. It comes wired and ready to hang. Shipping is free in the continental U.S.
