Caher Cottage has a small gallery full up with Lis' watercolour paintings of the stunning Connemara countryside. Lis has now retired, so if not painting as much as she used to, but last time I visited there were some fantastic new oil paintings too. Lis is almost always happy to meet visitors, so please feel free to pop by and say hello, even if you are not planning to buy anything. I think the best time to appear is just before dusk, as Caher Cottage's view of the sun setting over the Atlantic is simply beautiful.
Lis is also a bit of a history geek, and knows huge amounts about the Connemara area, its history and of course the best places for walks or beaches. If you have questions about the local area, definitely go and visit her for a cup of tea and a chat!!
*In the interest of full disclosure I should mention that this is my mother's Gallery* ...but that does not stop me from thinking it is brilliant!! read more
