| Dingle Valley Greens |
We had planned a whole day of exploring the Dingle Peninsula. We left sunny Killorgen early and as we made our way toward Dingle Bay and drove through the valley, I saw the greenest greens I have ever seen! It was a classic vista of green pastures and easily one of the ten most beautiful spots I have ever seen in person. Yes, it would have been great to paint there, but due to the narrow, busy road, it was not conducive to safety or quiet. We settled for stopping and getting a nice long look; perhaps a future studio painting!

| Dingle Harbor View - Painting and Scene |
When we arrived in Dingle Harbor, we walked around a bit both for touring and for deciding on a place to paint. There were lots of choices and the bustle of the town area with its colorful buildings was enticing.

We noticed a long walking path and green space from with the whole span of the colorful town was visible, and that was where we set up. This scene was an ambitious undertaking and as it turned out, actually took nearly three hours instead of the usual two hours.
"Painterly" is a word that describes a painting style in which the paint is applied in a way that is not realistic, but gives the essence of a scene through the colors and brushstrokes. This painting is an example of a more painterly approach. An honest, untrained eye might call it messy! :))
