Some of you may have celebrated this past weekend, and some of you may celebrate today. Either way, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This year’s holiday seems to be giving way to a little bit of a brighter outlook as far as being able to get back to life as usual.
Continuing the theme of sharing my Irish art, we’ll finish up a few more pieces. To see my complete gallery of work based on travels to Ireland, go here.

A year ago, I published a series of posts around a Virtual Tour of Ireland. With March upon us, I figured it was time for some more thoughts and images of Ireland. The series includes most of my original Irish art, but I found a few more.
Below is a painting I finished after spending time in Kinsale, a historic port and fishing town in County Cork, Ireland.
Here are two more paintings that were not included in the virtual Tour of Ireland posts.
You may remember the “Virtual Tour of Ireland” series a few months back. Out of that trip came a few paintings that we can refer to as “the pipers”. The Irish bagpipes, sometimes referred to as uilleann pipes, must have made an impression on me, because going through the inventory recently, it seems I turned out quite a few after that trip. Here are two below.
For the last virtual tour of Ireland post, we covered the Burren and some of County Clare. Here are some more images and thoughts on the area before we move on. Another favorite stop for travelers is Cassidy’s Pub and Restaurant in Carron.
Petunia and Tim also stopped at the Visitor Experience at the top of the Cliffs before leaving County Clare. When you visit, do not miss the movie that runs on a loop in the Visitor Center.
From there they were shuttled by Peter Mooney via the scenic route on to the Dingle Peninsula. They made one last stop in Lahinch, before taking the ferry to Tarbert in County Kerry.
The Irish Open had just finished up.
Surf’s up! It was a balmy 68 degrees, and people were enjoying the weather.
Drive right on to the ferry to Tarbert.
This is the way to arrive in County Kerry!
Next Up! On to the Dingle Peninsula
We hope you are enjoying the virtual tour of Ireland.
Our hearts go out to all of the people that helped to make our various trips to Ireland special. We know that the current situation is making life difficult for people at home and abroad. We are looking forward to the day we can get back to Ireland and other beloved spaces!
