Painted during a 2013 trip to Ireland, Hillside in Ireland was inspired by an unplanned stop along a winding rural road. The artist was captivated by the unexpected colors rising in the distant hill—subtle purples and warm oranges that stood in vivid contrast to the muted green foreground.

The gouache medium allowed for a soft yet expressive rendering of the rolling landscape, which seemed to shift with every change in light. This painting reflects the artist’s sense of wonder at the variety and quiet drama found in the Irish countryside.

Whether you’ve roamed Ireland yourself or simply dream of it, Hillside in Ireland offers a moment of stillness and discovery—capturing the magic of seeing something beautiful when you least expect it.
