When a place is living in your imagination… this happens. For weeks I have been looking at a photo of the bay near the National Trust/Murlough National Trust on the coast of Northern Ireland.
This is the view I will have in about a week.
The thing that is shocking me tonight is the way that I have needed the solace of this landscape to help me while I faced the news of so many contradictions and losses for America with the current governing structure. I started painting in the spring sunshine and this encaustic painting came to me. It helps to carry it with me as I see America from afar. I hope to be a good ambassador for our true values while in Great Britain.
