Ross Castle — Killarney.
William Henry Bartlett, from "A Week at Killarney" by Anna Maria & Samuel Carter Hall, London: 1865

View of Lough Leane dotted with a few sparse boats as the ruins of Ross castle can be seen in the distance, together with mountains a little farther away.

One of the brand new paintings for you to enjoy looking at. "Sligo Mountains" was the painting I chose to start off my annual sale and it sold instantly. It is currently being prepared for sending to its new owner.

Landscape format. Beyond wispy fluffy long pale, almost white, grass are several black birds, likely rooks, on a low wire fence. Brilliantly sunlit fields, crossed with a stone wall, are behind causing the wire, fence post and birds to be silhouetted. A hill of darker green fields, edged with dark green hedgerows, is further back beyond a dip and topped with a small house. Beyond further, sloping down from the top right corner to the left edge halfway up where there is a pine wood, is a craggy mountain of dark blues, violets and pale salmon where the sun hits mostly along the undulating sloping top. All under a pale teal sky. Signed bottom right: Liam Daly
