Special Irish Paintings

Here are some paintings from Ireland that stir something deep within me.

Emigrant Ship, by Edwin Hayes












When I was staying at the Monastery Hostel in Letterfrack, I was lucky enough to have a print of a 19th century painting by Trevor Fowler, that depicted children dancing at a crossroads.

from the National Gallery of Ireland


And I can't get this painting out of my mind.

Connemara Girl by Augustus Nicholas Burke
