Céide Fields |
24" x 18" - Oil on canvas |
| This painting was inspired by a visit to the Céide Fields in County Mayo, the 5,000 year old remnants of the stone walls, houses, and megalithic tombs of a farming community preserved beneath an eight foot blanket of peat. These ancient fields are organized in the same way that can be seen across Ireland to this day. In this painting the fields are arrayed in a symbolic Celtic pattern, and watched over by Anu, the greatest of all Irish goddesses, the deity of cattle, health, fertility, prosperity, and comfort. |
