I've made a lot of #nude #drawings as part of my study of anatomy, but not many #paintings - this is one. If you like #figurestudies generally, check out my page on Saatchi Gallery Online: https://www.saatchiart.com/en-ie/orlaclancypatijn

The islet that's in the middle of Banna Strand where the Lough Akeragh outlet is located. The tide was just in, and the islet cut off for several hours. Sold through Draíocht Gallery in Adare, by the late Agnes, a legend in her own lifetime. #art #wildatlanticway #orlaclancycontemporaryart
