Painted during my time as an Artist in Residence at Cill Rialaig in Ireland

Two days after I arrived at Cill Rialaig it was Saint Patrick’s day. At that time there were only three of us artists present, and the founder of the project decided to invite us over for dinner to celebrate. The evening was pure magic, and I really wanted to try to recreate the feeling of the gathering from memory. I made a sketch later that night at home, and this was my attempt at painting it the following day.
