Ireland BabesThese two darling Irish siblings completely captured my heart. Glowing with such absolute beauty, joy and love... I've truly fallen in love with them. (Please forgive the glare as the paint is still wet!)I approached this oil painting, "Ireland Babes" (18 x 14 oil on panel), in an entirely new fashion.
