	Castle Durrow Hotel History - Laois, Ireland
		Castle Durrow is the first country house of importance that still stands in close to its original condition and is one of the few 18th century houses for which precise building records survive.
		Built by earlier generations of Durrow inhabitants, the legacy of Castle Durrow is its unique sense of proportion, restrained good taste, and a spaciousness that has largely disappeared from present-day living.
		Formerly the home of the Flower family, Barons Castle Durrow and Viscounts Ashbrook, it was built in the early 18th century (1712 — 1715) when domestic architecture in Ireland was developing an independence of the need for defence and economy that had characterised earlier construction.

		Durrow is one of the sites being considered for restoration by the Irish authorities, and perhaps we can encourage them by sending in emails or letters.

		This is somewhat of a replica of the carpet page from the Book of Durrow.
		This painting is a spectacle up close- as I overlayed the pigments many times, so there is a catchy thickness to the areas and lines, and a purity to the glow of hte pigments because of the thickness and layering.
		The joy and movement created by the flow of the "liquid" through the spinning circles and interweaving "trumpets", is purely a creation of the Celtic art style, which typifies and nearly owns that genre unto itself since LaTene, by our findings thus far.

		As I've mentioned before, I had to add an extra repeat of Chart B to my sleeve in order to get the cable pattern to reach high enough up on the shoulder.
