watercolor 8x10

A little bet of Ireland  on this Special day! If you are Irish you will understand it!  I am not but after being married to an Irish man I feel like I am. I painted this scene last year on location when we went there about this time and had a great week there .I call it Ryan's beach but it's not the real name ,it's where they made the film Ryan's daughter year ago in the 70's

so to all my Irish family and friends ,have a great day !

The Irish cottage, copyrighted 2009
oil 10x10 on canvas , painted on all sides

This is the cottage where some of the cousins used to live , in a small town on the ring of Kerry, when my son was younger, like 30 years ago , we would spend our vacations there and he used to say , I love it here because everybody knows us ! when the relatives used to come from America it was a big deal , I think all of that has changed , but it sure was fun to step back in time, and I am glad all my children and grand children have experienced both side of their roots , Ireland and France. My younger son used to say he was Farish,he made it up .
I always take commission work , if you have a photo of a house that means lots of memories to you , contact me ,nlcasey@charter.net

White Strand beach on the Ring of Kerry, copyrighted 2009
oil on canvas 6x12

I am in a mood to paint Ireland , because I really wish I was there now or at least for St Patrick's day, a few years back we had gone for St Patrick in Limerick in the morning and Dublin at night, It was a lot of fun ! We love the ring of Kerry, and this is a beach in the village were my husband relatives come from . I also painted in oil today , it has been a while since I used them , I love all different medium to work with , it's a curse I think ! I wish I would be satisfied to work only with one , but this is who I am !
