Based on handpainted elements this is a piece depicting the Glen of Aherlow in Tipperary. As a child I could see Galtee Mór from my grandparents window on long summer evenings it is Interwoven into my life as permanent image. I visited there many times with my parents and looked over the lush green fertile valley there. Within its five lakes lay strength itself, all the loughs are popularly supposed to be enchanted.. The legend goes. that King Cliac played on his harp outside the palace of the king of Munster but failed to win the hand of his daughter. He then went up on the Galtees and played his two harps together. The hill burst open and formed Lough Bel Seod which means "Lake of the Jewel mouth" or "Lough Bel Dragan which means "Lake of the Dragons mouth" The five Lakes in the Galtees are:- Muskry, Farbrega, Borheen, Diheen and Curra or Corrig.
