Portmarnock, view of Howth, Co. Dublin, Ireland


Welcome!
I'm Mel ... and I'm an artist.... I always loved to paint, mainly for myself. But thanks to encouraging friends I started to get some of my artwork out there.

Again in the Dark....

I am alone in the dark, turning the world around in my head as I struggle through another bout of insomnia, another white night in the great American wilderness.

-Paul Auster, Man in the Dark

More dreams of flying...

What is the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
-H.D. Thoreau
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave,
find your eternity in each moment.

-H.D. Thoreau
I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,
To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die,
Discover that I had not lived.

-H.D. Thoreau
