Irish Watercolor by L Burns of Croghan Bog

Irish Watercolor by L Burns of Croghan Bog.

Lovely piece of original Irish Art.

Painting by popular and rapidly rising Irish Artist – Lorenza Burns of Co Offaly.

This painting is titled ” Croghan Bog”.

It was painted in 2001 and is fully signed and tagged by the artist on the rear.

GORGEOUS colors that capture the essence of an Irish Peat Bog in Summer !

In Summertime, in Ireland, over the Centuries, Irish people have harvested peat from the peat bogs to make peat logs or “turf” as it is known….for winter fuel for the fire. Rural Irish people would own small bog plots and in the summer they would cut the peat logs and stack them in piles to dry. Once dry they were perfect fuel for the winter fire and stove.

Irish Bogs have their own unique native flora and fauna and this painting beautifully reflect this !

Irish Bogs are rapidly disappearing as is the practice of cutting and burning turf ……. carbon emissions and all that !!! LOL

So, this painting will only appreciate in value, as it beautifully reflects a period of Irish history and culture that may soon be forgotten.

Framed behind glass…..fully signed and original.

If you are Irish-American (or any other ancestry for that matter) you will love this ….. it is quintessentially Irish !!!

Also, the Artist is a relative of mine……so watch what you say ! LOL
