Driving in to Ardara,County Donegal, one November day from our cottage along the shores of Loughros Beg, we came across a flock of sheep being brought down a hill to our left by a pair of sheepdogs and a farmer.  I screeched to a halt at the side of the road but my vision was blocked by the high hedgerow. I climbed out and stood on the car door sill and held the camera high over my head and fired away, shooting video, not knowing what the camera was recording.  I got lucky and captured a great bit of video which became part of a larger video called Ireland in November. (You can see it on my video page on this website.)

It was over a year before I began this painting, and it proved just a divil of task... but finally it was completed.
