This was inspired by the song “Cliffs of Moher”, (Tommy Byrne) a song about meeting an American on the Cliffs of Moher, and bringing her around Ireland to show her all the beautiful places and then falling in love with her… but alas it was all in vain as she heads back to America.
The land of beauty and of mistery, this aincent land I love. A land of history and tragady, this is the land I love. Land of beauty and tranquility, of our music and our songs. A land of mystery and tragedy, this is the land I love, Ireland.
There we walked the Streets Of Ulster, I've seen devided troubled land. With emblems flags and colours blazing, a divided people a divided land. On Antrim's Coast we saw great beauty, the Causeway we took photographs From Derry's Walls right through Lough Eirn's we shared our jokes and songs and laughs.

We said goodbye on The Cliffs Of Moher, in a fleeting glance love passed us by. As the sun was merging with the ocean and disappering from the sky. Then the moon rose up in great defiance, the stars were twinkling in the sky. In the shadows of that summer's evening, we kissed once more and said goodbye, Ireland
The Burren is a region of County Clare in the southwest of Ireland. It’s a karst landscape of bedrock incorporating a vast cracked pavement of glacial-era limestone, with cliffs and caves, fossils, rock formations and archaeological sites.

Eleanor and I bought this piece by Miriam Sweeney after attending an ArtSpan SF event at the JCC of San Francisco in April 2024. It’s called “I Left My Heart(s) in San Francisco.”

I love this piece for so many reasons: Like so many people, I love maps, but beyond that and beyond it being a map of San Francisco, it is both accurate at some level and whimsical at another. I love the fact that it is tactile and also that, when we had first seen the piece that Miriam encouraged us to touch it. And I also love this piece because I love Miriam, she is so gracious and grateful, not to mention talented and tenacious.

“Drawing inspiration from city aerial views, my work explores the urban landscape that sit somewhere between order and chaos, structure and collapse, expression and control. Seen from above, its pieces emerge like a puzzle, each with its own personality. I paint playful, textured curvilinear shapes to capture the city streets, its landmarks, the droning sounds of traffic, the chitter chatter of its cast of characters. I hope to evoke the feeling one gets when flying into a new place for the first time, when we try to take everything in, or reflect on the lasting impressions of authentic connections, special places and their unique stories.”
