Abstract Landscape Painting - Over Hill and Dale


Over Hill and Dale
12x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract landscape painting reminds me of my time in Ireland.  I had never seen such hilly country before.  And the roads through those hills were so windy and narrow that you really had to pay attention to where you were going.  Stops were frequently made to take photographs and allow livestock, mostly sheep, to cross the road.

It was late fall when we took a drive through the north country and over to Gallway in the west.  The bracken that covered the hills was a dark rusty red against a multitude of greens.  What a beautiful place, wild and windswept.  It was important for me to live for a time in the land of my ancestors, to walk the land they farmed and breathe the same sea air.
