Dranagh Gate I

By Mairead Holohan – View Profile

To me these old gates hold in themselves the fantastical reality of life
They are beautiful, handcrafted and functional. They bear the hands of their makers and these paintings represent a simple time gone by.

By painting them in two different watercolour styles I am carrying on the tradition of individuals making these gates but in a totally different media.

‘It’s not a gate, it’s a painting of a gate’  The beauty in the ordinary a Fantastical Reality.
