UPDATE 17th Sept ~ link to mp3
Go here [link] for the text of the lyric and a link to the mp3 of the song. The Burren –the region and my song This is a song I wrote a long while back, before my health hassles stopped me from singing. It was a tribute to one of my favourite places in the world – the Burren in County Clare. The scenery there is amazing, and it’s also the home of wonderful traditional Irish music, especially in a small town called Doolin. The musicians there really encouraged and supported my traditional Irish singing, while the land and seascapes simply inspired me. The Burren is an area full of great significance to the Irish people, both ancient and modern. It contains numerous monuments ranging from stone-age to late 19th century, and also many sites of religious significance from both pre-Christian and Christian times. This sense of layer upon layer of history and spirituality, joined with layer upon layer of abandonment and loss is what inspired my song, and my artwork. This link is one of the best sources of information about this area. [link] Making the Image Here’s a link to a before and after montage to show you just how much I’ve changed things, and hopefully a little of why I did it. [link] I have taken a lot of liberties with the geography of West Clare. Although I have tried my best to make this a photorealistic landscape it doesn’t represent a real view – more a view that contains most of the elements of Doolin and The Burren that have a deep meaning for me. I’ve heavily manipped the area of flat “  avement” stone in order to give a sense of depth while still showing the strange and wonderful textures and shapes. I’ve also added a standing stone from elsewhere. I’ve changed the castle drive and wall to fit the needs of the composition.RESOURCE CREDITS  The woman – mainly from [link] (with just a few bits from others in that series)The standing stone [link]  The background – a montage of [link] [link] [link] and [link]  The castle [link] The paper texture [link]************************************************ The following clubs have permission to show my art in their galleries.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  |
