Loughcrew - Original

This is a 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas painting of the Loughcrew Cairns in Oldcastle Co Meath. It is unframed.

It is based on a picture of the Cairns that I took during one of our many walks up the gentle hill. It is locally known as the 'The Witches Hill'. I love this place, there is a lovely energy at this site and its a magical place to visit especially around the spring and autumn equinox. I have been lucky enough to be inside this cairn during the Equinox and saw with my own eyes the sun illuminating the stones and highlighting the ancient symbolic artwork on these stones.
