This is my latest Trio of Paintings entitled "Bringing home the Sheep". It is from the series "Ireland in the 1950s" drawn from my memories of Mayo and Galway. If you have any suggestions for improvement of the blog, please email me at mpjoyce@talk21.com. Thanks, Slán, Mícheál.

Happy New Year to all.
Here are the finished Triple Paintings I have been working on. They take their inspiration from my memories of my Grandmother waiting at the door of her cottage. The nearest house was about half a mile away and in my mind's eye I can still have the same emotions as we both awaited either a visitor or possibly the weekly travelling shop or the crowd of men arriving to help with the harvest.
There is also a photo of my painting a commission of three paintings based on previous scenes. I can never reproduce exactly a previous painting as my style might be slightly different or the time of year may dictate a different colour and hue due to the light coming into the studio.
