Thattinz ma favrit.

So… Based in Nashville Tennessee, tell me again what makes them Irish?
The paintings were very nice - one looked vaguely similar to the works of Jack Vettriani. I didn’t see anything that struck me as Irish. Not even the names.

But I was visitor number 75! Bless! Still, you have to start somewhere.


Cran, if only Sigmund Freud were still alive…

The photos are too big for my screen. I never understand such things.

:blush:

I meant the cross on the rock. Look closely and you’ll see that there’s a big cross carved onto the rock. It has nothing to do with the fact that it resembles a…thumb. Calling in Freud will not be necessary! :laughing:

Responsible opposing viewpoints differ… :stuck_out_tongue:

Perverted ones certainly do!!

:wink:

Lewis ye must despair at times :boggle: Innocent bystander must surely be looking at a different site to me?? :confused: Ben Bulben,Mulaghmore Connemara ,Columcille…erm if they don’t sound Irish then I must be frae Kentucky..
Very good work Lewis keep it up..
Slán Go Foill
Uilliam

Yes…they are landscapes of Ireland…and…my wife and a host of other women noted the similarity of the cross and stones to unnamed anatomical parts…blame the Monks of Columcille. BTW 8X10 canvas giclee prints of that standing cross image are available for $40 bucks…you pay shipping. …only 4 left! Lewis

No, I was looking at the same site. But I confess, I didn’t click on every possible link.

I went for the main link on the page, which seemed to me to be “Local Color Gallery”. There was a list of artists, and although I didn’t click them all (Guilty as charged) none of the ones I did click seemed to have anything much Irish about them.
But I went back and had another scout around.
CALENDAR - no, there is no calendar. I can get behind that.
PHOTOS! Aha! Oh, look, Pictures of Ireland. Well, there you are then.
Sorry I missed them the first time.
:blush:

Nice work Lewis. :smiley:

I like the picture of Corcomroe. Now that my teaching job is in the final stretch I’m looking forward to getting back to my project on the Cistercian order in Medieval Ireland (or should I say, getting started!). Where is Corcomroe, again?

I love the Ben Bulben one, its unusual because the normal views of that mountain are of the side vista! To me it always reminds me of one of those old western locomotive trains with the grill on the front.
