Following the chart to 52 drawings this year.
For those of you who know me, this will not be a surprise. I have multiple drawings for this week because I’ve been drawing Ireland for more than a year. I did do one new sketch for the week so as not to cheat on the challenge but the rest are from the last three trips made over the past 18 months. They are; The docks on Galway Bay, Polnabroun Neolithic portal tomb in The Burren, Rockfleet: Grace O’Malley’s castle, and finally the Skellig Islands off the coast of Kerry.
These are lovely 🙂

The picture of Grace O’Malley’s castle looks like it should some kind of story to go with it. It almost makes want to write something about a warrior chieftain named Sheamus.

Oh there is a story! She was the pirate queen of Ireland!

Oh, rats. I was hoping it was going to be something racy. I was hoping Grace started the first bordello in Ireland …that sort of thing.

Great perspective. That’s the hardest part! I love the mountains I can see your artistic flare on that one and the one above 🙂

Terrific drawings, Meg, a wonderful collection. I like the Skellig Islands. The islands look a bit ominous. 🙂 Have a lovely evening.

Ah, they are very picturesque! Skellig Michael has the ruins of an old monastery, if you can imagine anyone occupying that rock. Thanks so much, Mia. Enjoy the rest of your evening as well! 🙂

THank you, Dee – the Skellig Islands are quite the sight to see. And the day we were there, it was storming so it made an incredible picture (which I used to sketch from…) 😃
