Lying in the western sea, beyond the setting sun was an enchanted 
island off the West coast of Ireland.  In Irish mythology and folklore
there were many names for this place. It was known as Tír Fa Tonn 
(Land beneath the Waves), Tir na nÓg(the Land of Youth),Mag Mell
(the Plain of Delight) and Hy Breasil (Brasil’s Island). It was depicted 
as a place of everlasting youth, beauty, health, abundance and joy. 
This magical realm was reached by entering ancient burial mounds
or by going under water or across the sea.  Sometimes the island 
floated and at other times it was submerged.  Time on this island 
passed at a different pace to that on earth.  No one grew old here
or suffered from illness. The flowers always bloomed and never died.  
There was no sorrow or pain here; love was eternal.

I drew Tir fa Tonn by the sea at Red Rock in Sutton so I wasn't too surprised 
when I ended up with mermaids and strange sea-creatures in this piece!  It's 
such a beautiful place to just sit and draw, I love it.
