It has to be remembered that the landscapes I admire, if only from
afar were not necessarily always as they appear now. Alice Milligan's
poem 'There were trees in Tir Chonaill' (Donegal) laments the cutting
down of the forests which blanketed the landscape .There is of course
beauty in what she calls the 'bogland lonely' and a haunting quality to
the 'nude' profile of the surrounding hills. Perhaps it is that sense of
vulnerability that provides the attraction to the painter.
