Kilshanny village 90x60cm (unframed)

The Lovely Green Vales of Kilshanny” lie on the southern fringe of the Burren. They are home to historical sites such as The Abbey of St. Mary and St. Augustine, The Carn Connachtach (a Bronze age burial site), Smithstown Castle and holy wells dedicated to St. Augustine, St. Senan, St. Cravan and Iníne Baoith. The small village features a Church, a school, a pub and a community hall.

 The inspiration for this painting came to me one day when I was driving from Doolin and through to Kilshanny. As I approached Kilshanny the trees either side of the road reached over the road to each other and framed the view.
