Silent Arch shows a stone bridge in Inistioge, Ireland built in 1763. The bridge wears a soft cloak of green leaves, blending into the surrounding trees and shrubs. Beyond it, a white house rests calmly against a backdrop of dense foliage. The pale blue sky stretches overhead, clear and still, letting the light fall evenly across the scene. This was a plein air piece painted during the Art in the Open in 2026. I loved being in the countryside and taking in all the sounds of the water and the livestock in the pastures nearby.
