Irish Country Road

Let's talk about roads...

There are many that we've come across in our lifetimes...the Yellow Brick Road from The Wizard of Oz;  Abbey Road in London, site of the recording studio most widely known for its association with the Beatles;  the road to nowhere, which I'm sure we all feel we're walking from time to time;  the (hopefully) always comforting road home...and many more.  The road I long to travel is one that will lead me to and around the western part of Ireland.  The Irish have long spoken of 'going to the west' as a metaphor for finding their peace and harmony, either as part of this life or as its inevitable end.  This painting is my idea of that road home.
