Ireland Paintings By Dawn Richerson

Two resilient flowers stand strong and tall against a golden sky at sunset. The Bricklieve Mountains fade into the soft horizon above the Lough Arrow shoreline in County Roscommon, Ireland. I sat on the sloping hillside, inhaling the smell of grass and late spring flowers, and imagined a proud chieftain like the one depicted in a nearby sculpture entitled “The Gaelic Chieftain.” He rode on horseback through the fields and love sprung to life inside my heart. All time and space converged. What I knew for certain that day is that love survives all we think lost to time, and we are forever led back into an eternal spring and born again to love. In the heart of the Emerald Isle I was met with mystery and miracle. The soul of Ireland spoke to my soul, and I was forever changed.
