This is the first of my views of Garryvoe the place where I live. I had been wanting to do this view for a few years before getting around to doing it. At the time, it was a very ambitious goal. Since then I've done two other paintings at different times of the year. The sky appealed to me a lot, I like how over in the east and south opposite the sun setting, the sky goes purple to a deep blue near the horizon.
