People often think that painting in watercolour is really easy and fast. In a way, it is. A painting can be done in a couple of hours. But then, what non-watercolour artists don't realise is how many versions of the same view we have to try out before we produce one we're happy with! In this case, three. And actually, the one I like best is the second one.

These are inspired by photos I took on the Beara peninsula last summer, near
Glenbeg Lough if I remember correctly. I must go back down to Beara, with my easel this time, and paint non-stop. It's such a wonderful part of the world!
