Killea, County Donegal, Ireland
This giant 100 meter long cross is now known as the “Emery Celtic Cross” which is proudly named after its creator Liam Emery. Intelligently he planted 2 different species of pine trees in the shape of this giant celtic cross design 10 years ago in these woods of Donegal. The reason being that the outer trees are evergreen and don’t drop their needles during Autumn but the trees used for the actual cross design are not evergreen & turn this golden colour right before they drop their needles for the cold seasons ahead
After a decade of secretly growing all the same colour, it was only last fall that these trees have matured enough to shed their needles & this hidden wonder became visible for the first time ever. The Emery Celtic Cross was first spotted last year by passenger plane pilots & some passengers believed it to be an actual miracle! Unfortunately Mr Liam Emery passed away 6 years ago and never got to witness his stunning creation grow, but im sure he is now smiling from ear to ear with pride when he stares down from heaven at his now miracle famous “Emery Celtic Cross”
We thank you for this lasting Legacy Liam, you have certainly helped God put a stamp on Ireland

Ireland: Ice Cream in Donegal
Ireland: Ice Cream in Donegal
We did not do much in Donegal town unfortunately, we arrived a little before lunch and did some early Christmas shopping. One thing that I absolutely loved about all the cities and towns that we visited is that they are pedestrian friendly. This made navigating unfamiliar streets so much easier.
Lunch was not out favorite but this ice cream shop had a line out the door so we had to stop in for a…

‘Castle of Doe – or MacSwine’s Castle, is situated on Cannon-point, a peninsula but little broader than its extent, on the bay of Ards, to the demesne of which it appears in various handsome views. It was built by a lady of the name of Quin, who afterwards married one of the Mc’Swine family, a couple of years before the reign of Queen Elizabeth; it was since then fortified with a strong bawn by…

December '23 Challenge: Ink & Wash Landscapes (Part 1)
So in addition to keeping up with my daily doodles, I decided to give myself an extra challenge for December. The media I most want to work on is ink and wash, and the subject is landsc apes.
The goal is to do twenty-four paintings by year's end. I got a late start and lost time to Covid, but if I can manage to do one a day, I'll finish just under the wire.
Here's hoping!
