Description
This is a many coloured abstract landscape painting inspired by beautiful wild Connemara in County Galway on the west coast of Ireland .using watercolours,pastels and watercolour pencils.Yellow, orange, blue, green red. shades of grey and black in the stone walls.
Connemara in County Galway, is one of the most scenic areas of Ireland, in a wildish way. As with most of Galway, Connemara's history goes back thousands of years. The first inhabitants of the Galway region were there over 5,000 years ago. Celtic colonization of this area there after explains the presence of sites of this period.
The main town of Connemara is Clifden. The area around the town is rich with megalithic tombs. The famous "Connemara Green marble" is found outcropping along a line between Streamstown and Lissoughter. It was a trade treasure used by the inhabitants of the area from prehistoric times and it continues to be of great value today.
