   Two amazing days on Innishmaan in May 2012 led to a dozen painting ideas.  I thought I had seen stone walls before, but noooooo. 

   The first night at the hotel pub, I struck up a conversation with the Island Postmistress who was sitting next to me at the bar. I told her about meeting and helping an old woman tottering along with a cane who was having difficulty filling a pail of water for her cow.  "What did she look like?" she asked me. I described her.  She laughed, "That was my mother." 

   Only in Ireland.  That's her in the lane bringing water to this beautiful Connemara Pony.
