Description

painted 1979.
This is me and depicts a dawn moment in Bangor Park. I was just 18 years at the time. As you can see I am all spaced out and the world is coming apart all around me. I am alone and surrounded by the early wildlife of the park who ignore me. It is 1970 and a group of older and well travelled people are trying to turn me on. They were lovely people who provided accommodation and food as well as the other stuff. We paid for nothing and I made sure I had a return ticket in my pocket
There are two canvases and the top one.. is made from a tarpaulin and is stretched with rope
from wiki..."The lyrics to the song "The Mountains of Mourne" were written by Irish musician Percy French. It is normally sung to the traditional Irish folk tune Carrigdonn or Carrigdhoun [1] as it is sometimes spelt. This was the same tune used by Thomas Moore (1779�1852) for his song "Bendemeer's Stream".

The song is representative of French's many works concerning the Irish diaspora. The Mourne Mountains of the title are located in County Down in present-day Northern Ireland.

The song is a whimsical look at the styles, attitudes and fashions of late nineteenth century London as seen from the point of view of an Irish labourer from a village near the Mountains of Mourne. It is written as if the singer is sending a message to his true love back home. The text were inspired viewing from Skerries to the Mourne.[2]

It contrasts the artificial attractions of the city with the more natural beauty of his homeland."
