This painting is called Connemara. This is one of my favorite places in County Mayo, Ireland. Sometimes I refer to this painting style as a collage because different images are woven into a cohesive single painting. It is not easy. Color, shape, and negative painting are the glue that holds it together. In May I will be including this type of design in workshop at Maryland Hall For the Arts in Annapolis . The workshop is in May and is all about design and negative painting.
