Ireland |

---|---|---|---|---|
I have been working for months on my goal of becoming an Irish citizen. I am not clear about what has moved me to do this, other than that it has been an option of my heritage from my grandfather, Walter McDonough. I am drawn to Connemara by that heritage, and am wanting to be nurtured and inspired by this landscape of mountains and lakes and the sea. |
Eileen McAlonan has welcomed me to stay in her family cottage on Killary Harbor, just west of Leenane in County Galway for the month of September. Here, I have the quiet time and space to reflect, draw, paint, and write. This is my sharing with you of this time, as I go through my days, noticing and representing in different ways what Ireland is showing me. |
