| "The Stone Bridge at Enniscorthy" 12x16 oil on panel $800 |
Situated on the River Slaney, the second largest city in County Wexford and our third and last bus trip adventure. It was sad that we only had one day to explore Enniscorthy. There was so much here to see!

The challenge in these competitions for many artists is to manage your time efficiently. In other words you want to be inspired by a new location and as you look around your artists eye sees all the possibilities for composition and design. There is always the hope that a better view is around the next bend. You can spend your time walking around or driving around overwhelmed by all the beautiful scenes and never get a painting done. Better to set a time limit on scouting, find a spot near by that strikes your interest and get down to painting, at least for your first one. After you get one under your belt, while your still fresh, then scout a little further. I explored a little further to find this scene, maybe half an hour, but was glad I did! The blooming wildflowers in the foreground clinched it for me!
You can barely see the castle in the upper right hand corner of the painting. Yes! There are many castles in Ireland!
