The Hawthorn shading this holy well, attributed to Saint Ciaran, is located very close to the incredible monastic site of Clonmacnoise, founded by St. Ciaran in County Offaly around 548 AD. Hawthorn is perhaps the tree that most represents the struggles of early Christianity against Paganism. Still respected as a tree of enchantment under the protection of the Faerie realm, Hawthorns bloom in the month of May, Mary's month; hence it is often referred to as 'Mary's Tree'. For the Christian, the beautiful blooms are said to help prayers reach Heaven while in the pagan religion the tree symbolizes fertility. The blossoming of the Hawthorn marks the end of the dark winter and the certain return of the fullness of Spring. In this painting the artist discovered and incorporated animals symbolic to the Celts. A key is provided with your purchase so that you may find the Salmon of Knowledge, the Hound of Cuchulainn, the Raven, plus several other images hidden within.

Note: A simple 'Key' is provided with each print so that you may puzzle out the images for yourself!

The artist offers archival giclées of this scene in two sizes and two
types. You may choose between canvas prints so real
that they look like originals, or paper prints on 100 lb. acid free stock, matted in dark green, using only acid-free materials...
both are signed and numbered by the artist.
