Glorious Summer in the Sugarloaf

I grew up in Greystones and the Sugarloaf always looked large and fed my imagination...it didnt help that as a child someone told be it was a dormant volcano so I was always keeping an eye on it incase it erupted(Mt Etna being an example!)

I still love its slopes and it still inspires my imagination!

It’s commonly thought of as a dormant volcano because of the shape of it. Is this painting for sale?

That looks great! I love art but have no talent for it at all. My stick men don’t look like stick men! 😕
