Early Morning Light, The Burren

New Art just added to the Paintings of Ireland series...

This oil painting on canvas captures the colours of the Burren in the early morning light and the rugged beauty of the unique rocky landscape, with it’s stone walls, fields and cottages.

 The Burren translates from Irish as “great rock.” This is a very popular place to visit on the Wild Atlantic Way.

The Burren is one of the largest karst landscapes in Europe. The region measures approximately 250 square kilometres and is enclosed roughly within the circle made by the villages Ballyvaughan, Kinvara, Tubber, Corofin, Kilfenora and Lisdoonvarna. It is bounded by the Atlantic and Galway Bay on the west and north, respectively.

A small portion of the Burren has been designated as Burren National Park. It is one of only six National Parks in the Republic of Ireland...

The edges of the canvas are painted white so it is ready to hang without a frame if required...
