Memories of goats and cheese making in the Burren, Co. Clare
The goats followed their owner into the heart of the Burren on spindly legs and delicate hooves.
At the end of the lane the herd spread out, picking their own routes and wandering on to forage. To my eyes even the blackthorns appeared to sprout little antlers and form pointy faces.

Journey, Tyrone Guthrie Centre @ Annaghmakerrig May 2016
I arrived with the intention of completing a painting on silk bonded with canvas that I had been struggling with for over two years; the aim was to 'fix it' in two days. I had a definite sense of purpose, a job to do, a deadline.
So I peeled away the layer of silk to expose the canvas below, gold had already been applied to shine through the silk, and I worked on this instead;
Day 2. Being at Tyrone Guthrie Centre, informed by the greens of the surrounds, the lake, memories of a Barrie Cooke series of dripping jungle foliage ... I painted on, and birdlike creatures, primordial, a deep lake took over.
A gift of extra time arrived and I washed back, exposing layers. Ships, distant horizons, movement,
I struggled on for a day. The energy was all wrong;
So I peeled away the layer of silk to expose the canvas below, gold had already been applied to shine through the silk, and I worked on this instead;
A sea with swallows swarming arrived
A gift of extra time arrived and I washed back, exposing layers. Ships, distant horizons, movement,
A sprite appeared cradling something precious
