Cill Rialaig 2

By Eileen KeaneUncategorized Writing Art Diary Residency2 Comments

On the grassy slope, tall fronds of purple loosestrife swayed in the breeze, the calm sea stretched out towards Scariff and the smaller Duinis island. Behind the islands the…

Abandoning the new house.

By Eileen KeaneWriting Lifestyle Travel Art ResidencyLeave a comment

  The boxes are not all unpacked in the new house but I have left it again to come back to beautiful Corris in Wales. The residency was booked long before I thought of selling and moving and naively when my house sold very quickly I assumed I would be well settled by September. Roll…

Unfulfilled desires/ burning the dolls house.

By Eileen KeaneLifestyle Art Opinion1 Comment

Some months ago I visited a friend’s house and her young daughter brought me to her playroom to show me her ‘Sylvanian families’ house. She did not have any of the furniture or Sylvanians for it and hoped to be able to save for them. The fervent tone of her voice reminded me of myself…
