The beautiful hand and delicate touch of artist Phil Brennan, with this original watercolour painting of Quinn Abbey, Ennis Co Clare, in the snow.
This Franciscan Abbey was built in the early 1400’s by the McNamara clan. There had been a Norman-English castle on the site until they were defeated at the battle of Dysart O Dea in 1318 and the bases to the four huge castle towers can still be seen. The Abbey had a chequered history including its part destruction and murder of the monks by Cromwell’s troops in 1650. Although roofless, the structure remains intact and it’s a wonderful place to visit.
Artist, author and lifelong bird watching / nature consultant Phil Brennan, creates the most beautiful watercolour depictions of the stunning sights and birds that he has witnessed. Not just beautifully detailed, Phil’s knowledge of colour is superb and he always manages to bring such drama into his pieces. Phil has spent much of his life time doing field work in such spots of natural beauty along the Clare Coast and his experts eye for detail is refreshing.Phil’s artwork is detailed and both beautifully and delicately applied. This is a large artwork and is professionally framed behind glass.
