About This Image

Dunguaire Castle – Historic Ireland 5×7 Greeting Card by Mark Tisdale.

This historic Ireland greeting card features the beauty of Dunguaire Castle. Chances are if you’ve toured Ireland’s west coast, you’ve at least paused near this 16th century tower house near Kinvara. It’s seen in this artwork reflecting in the waters of Galway Bay.

The historic Dunguaire Castle was built in 1520 by the O’Hynes Clan. Its restoration began in the last century. In 1924 it was purchased by Oliver St. John Gogarty, a famous Irish surgeon and literary figure. The repairs he began were finished by Christobel Lady Amptill who purchased the castle in 1954. Today the castle belongs to Shannon Heritage who open the castle to visitors in the summer season. My own visit to Ireland was in the winter, so although I’ve seen this beautiful tower house, it was not up close and personal. It definitely made an impression on me anyway.

I think it’s more than history, it’s the romance of Ireland. Just look at that towering edifice reflecting in the waters of Galway Bay. There’s a magic in Ireland that transcends the stones and earth. I can’t put it into words but I feel like I’ve captured a little of that magic in the image on this Historic Ireland greeting card.

What caught your attention in the image on this Dunguaire Castle greeting card? Have you been there yourself or have some other connection to this historic old Irish building? I hope you’ll share your thoughts.

Mark Tisdale - The Artist Who Runs This Site
The Artist Behind The Curtains

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
