Our second or third day in Ireland, we had driven to our first B&B and the countryside was gorgeous.  We took a walk just as the sun was starting to fall from the sky and came on this scene.  The sun was just peeking over the landscape and the atmosphere was magical; this boat seemed to moan it’s loneliness as we walked through the grass and rocks.

I painted this pretty straight forward, wanting to capture the magical feeling of that place and that time of day, and especially that peek of the sun and it’s effect on the trees and bushes.
