Well, my Roscommon trip was a bust, so no new sheela’s to show now. The museum was closed (summer is over, the guy is part time, lives out in the country, is erratic anyway… yadda, yadda), contrary to posted web info. I could not find 2 of the sites at all in spite of driving all around and asking locals, and the one I found was too worn and high up to see or even photograph. And then it started to pour! So I decided to regroup and focus on the ones I can get close to at the National Museum next week. I changed gears and started a new project in the studio, which is going really well—I think that makes 6 projects in process now!
As my second week here approaches the end, I am sad to think about leaving. It has been beautiful in its own quiet Irish way, and it is hard to have just a short time here. I’m off to Dublin on Monday, and my next post will be from there.
