I’m attempting to do regular paintings and drawing of the view outside my window. The Aran Isles lie WNW from here. This is the Inisheer Lighthouse after sunset. I applied the paint using my old gardening glove and bits of kitchen roll. If Rothko had been a landscape painter he’d have loved it here. In a sense, the early night time sky in Doolin is a Rothko rip-off.
The lighthouse was upgraded in 2001 and the old diesel generators taken out. I discovered this from a website called the Commission for Irish Lights. They have a publication called BEAM magazine. Check them out at http://www.cil.ie/
