Carbery's Hundred Isles

Whiskey Burn - Carbery's Hundred Isles   (30 x 20 cm oil on panel)

Carbery's Hundred Isles

This painting was done from the proposed site of the distillery still house on Cape Clear island off the coast of West Cork. The view was made famous by the Thomas Davis poem Carbery's Hundred Isles (The summer sun is falling soft on Carbery's hundred isles ...), but I only counted about a dozen, and wouldn't have had time to paint them all anyway.
