Painting of an island schoolhouse

I am frequently asked to paint a commission painting of a favourite place or for a special person/occasion. This is a painting I was asked to create as a gift and it now hangs in a private collection in Boston. As I love the islands of the west of Ireland this was a joy to paint. I know it is in a great home!

Looking forward to all the Regattas this Summer to see traditional Galway hooker boats in full sail racing in bays (like this one in the painting) all around our beautiful coast.
