I drove to Ard Rudah this morning. A massive property. It’s Gaelic for ‘High Promontory’. It has a fascinating history.
It’s really a wonderful place, saturated with tons of flowers and trees. A full spectrum of colours everywhere.
I decided to set up my easel here in Sunken Garden.
It was cloudy at first, but, it soon became clear. There were many visitors walking around, enjoying a perfect spring day. They were all very nice, giving me a lot of compliments. I’m happy with this one.
I spent 2.5 hours.
Oil on canvas. 14x18 in.
I took some photos so that you get some idea. The owner said the last time it was open to public was 5 years ago. Well, I was very lucky to have this opportunity.
Then I decided to drive up to Memorial Cross.
It’s been a few years since I painted here last time, I guess. I set up my easel here.
Soon it got very cold and windy, and I wasn’t prepared for that. It’s very difficult to paint under such a condition. So, this is a quick sketch.
I spent 2 hours.
Oil on canvas. 14x18 in.
It was a great day. I’ve got two more days off. Great !
