Event

Abstract landscape painting titled Fermanagh Field I by Terence Philip Flanagan. The artwork depicts a pale, textured field rendered in muted tones of beige, grey, and white, with expressive brushstrokes suggesting land and sky. A soft blue sky with streaks of white looms over darker, indistinct shapes resembling distant trees or rocks, creating a sense of open space and quiet atmosphere.
