I forgot about these tiny ones I painted in 2017. I did a series of small acrylic boards, some of which have been sold. Two are people in the Burren, one of the family gazing down the valley at Three Castles Head, and the dog is the Hound of St Finian's Bay. www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com

It was in my mother's house for many years, I gave it to her because she loved it. When she passed I got it back. I need to reframe it, however. It's too cute not to be shared. An en plein air oil pastel drawing made near Newcastle West in County Limerick. www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com #art
