Balbriggan is a seaport town on the northeast coast of Ireland. The harbor has a strong tide, leaving many of the boats moored there on dry land during low tide. It is home to an abundance of working boats and pleasure boats, and sports a small lighthouse that is almost 250 years old.

In the fall of 2016 I spent 3 weeks in Ireland. This scene is of the quay in Ahidelake, County Cork, Ireland, in the tidal Clonakilty bay. There was no shortage of quaint seaside scenes all around the Irish coast.

Plein air, or "outdoor", painting allows an artist to escape the difficulties of painting from photographs that distort perspective, colors, and light. But it provides its own special challenges, including limited time, changing light, moving subjects, bugs, heat, cold, kibitzers, etc.

This is a typical scene in rural central Ohio - a white farmhouse with an addition or two added to the rear, situated in fairly flat terrain. The gray day is also typical of late fall, winter, and early spring weather in Ohio. There is something about the view down that long, straight road that beckons one into the painting.
