I'm back from another visit to Ireland! This time I traveled with a study abroad group from Augusta State University. The group travelled from place to place by bus which was a new experience for me (I'm accustomed to setting my own itinerary!!). But, the trade-off was that I was able to visit some areas of Ireland I've never seen before...I've tried to capture the essence of some of these places in the artwork from the trip.
This pastel painting is a view of Ballycroy National Park in County Mayo....Ballycroy is an enormous bog (11,000 hectares to be specific) covering a vast uninhabited and unspoilt wilderness. In the distance is the Nephin Beg mountain range.
