Devenish at Dusk- Barry McAdam

I was lucky this year to sleep over in a boat at Devenish at Easter.  Coming silently into the jetty as the sun was setting was an experience I will never forget. It was silent and magical and as we drifted in, the birds who live there glided towards us. 

For generations this view has captured the imagination.  It is a view that takes us back in time and grounds us in the present.  I love how the walk to the St Mary's Abbey draws one up the hill and closer to the sky and the infinity beyond.   

Most of my watercolour pieces leave a lot to the water and transparency in the piece.  in this piece, early on, I realised that the sky had taken on a life of it's own the colours became strong quickly and that meant the grass and hills had to follow. I gave in, let the magic of the piece take over and went where it took me.

I hope it takes you there as well.  To that magical place where eventide brings night and day together and a place like Devenish takes the real world and your imagination together to wonder at such a beautiful place."
