Bonny Views of Ireland





56 page sketchbook

In 2009, fellow artist Vera Dickerson and I combined sketches and musings into a soft-cover 
book that recorded a 2-week group tour to Ireland. We visited the western coast... the Connemara region, with stays in Clifden, Galway and the Dingle Penninsula. A limited number
of printed books are available through PayPal. (US only)
