| “Irish street” 4 x 6 original watercolor |
I am always intrigued by thatched-roof homes and buildings. In times past, they were used because reeds were readily available. Nowadays, however, it is a mark of wealth to be able to afford thatching. It is a highly-prized skill to have. These two cottages are in Ireland. All my new paintings and sketchbook drawings will be on display starting August 2 at the Roland Lee Gallery in St. George, Utah. Receptions are scheduled for Thursday and Friday August 8 and 9. Stop by when you get a chance.
