CLARE BUSWELL
If it’s the end of June, it’s Bluebells.
By Lynda Cookson
‘Raindrops on roses and … gates in sunny gardens…’ - just a little made-up ditty which soaks the mind when Tralee artist, Clare Buswell, is around. She’s got a twinkly smile and an aura of peace, probably because she spends a lot of her time photographing and painting sunny gardens and parks with secretive gates and timeless statues. She says:
‘I love painting gardens and if it’s the end of June, I know it’s Bluebells I’ll be doing. But I prefer painting statues to painting people - I wouldn’t like people to be offended by what I produce!’
