Celebrating St. Patrick's Day with Art from Ireland!

Ireland is a magical country! The lush green landscape, the medieval castles, and the beautiful and majestic Connemara Ponies are just a few of the things I love about this island of leprechauns and shamrocks.

This image is of Kylemore Abbey. It was built in 1868 as a private home for the family of Mitchell Henry, a wealthy doctor from London and was named Kylemore Castle.

Kylemore Abbey is now a Benedictine Monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle, in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. The Abbey was founded for Benedictine nuns who fled Belgium in World War 1.
