My father always told us our family was from the county Cork. So far I've only managed to see the airport in Shannon.

Great paintings, welcome.

Waiting for an Irishman

Paraphrasing badly Beckett, I welcome you and your sumptuous work!

Did you get Michael Gambon to sit or did he make you work from photographs? He is one of my favorite actors. We see him a lot on our PBS rebroadcasts of British television productions. I probably would recognize the others also.

Let me add my welcome and praise for your work. My mother was an O'Loughlin and she, along with others in that clan, were very encouraging when I first dabbled in drawing and painting.
