Description
Title: THE OLD ROAD TO ARDEE, 1989
Note: Artist's note reads: "I chose this view because of the significance of the road. This is one of the oldest roads in Ireland (Slí Dubh Luachra?) which in olden times led straight to 'the Ford' (Ath Fherdia). On the horizon is Sliabh Gullion and the 'Gap of the North'. Along this road over the centuries many illustrious people headed towards Ardee; among them, almost certainly St Patrick on his way to Armagh. -P.L."
