Enniskerry 1783

Editor: This watercolor, "Enniskerry," by Francis Wheatley, whispers of a bygone era. It feels so serene, almost dreamlike with the pale greens and blues. What captures your imagination most about this piece? Curator: Oh, it's the airiness, isn't it? Wheatley wasn't just painting a place; he was capturing a mood. That almost translucent quality of the watercolor allows light to filter through, creating a sense of fleeting beauty. It's like glimpsing a memory. Editor: I see what you mean! I love the way the colors blend together. Curator: It’s less about precision and more about feeling, wouldn't you agree? A gentle reminder that beauty often lies in the ephemeral. Editor: Absolutely. I'll look at watercolors in a whole new light now.
