At the heart of the scene is a cottage, now a landmark in the children’s adventures. Their laughter rings through the heather, their footsteps echo along the track. In this place, imagination is as wide as the view. The painting is a celebration of how natural spaces, even rugged, weather-worn ones, can offer joy, resilience, and wonder to the young people who explore them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"right\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ciara Barry Creative","offers":[{"title":"Oil \/ A4","offer_id":52008411889991,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ A3","offer_id":52008411922759,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ Original A3 Canvas","offer_id":52008417100103,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/9892\/0007\/files\/Half_Moon_Divis.jpg?v=1753540288"},{"product_id":"whispers-of-the-reeds-by-ciara-barry","title":"'Whispers of the Reeds' by Ciara Barry","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"right\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eWhispers of the Reeds captures the soft stillness of a spring day in the Bog Meadows, where tall reeds sway gently under a bright sky and buttercups scatter gold across the grass. Once overlooked, this quiet wetland in the heart of the city has become a vital space for reflection and renewal. For many in the local community, it offers fresh air, walking paths, and a peaceful escape from the pressures of daily life. In this painting, the artist celebrates the quiet power of open green space in supporting health, happiness, and a sense of belonging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ciara Barry Creative","offers":[{"title":"Oil \/ A4","offer_id":52008430895431,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ A3","offer_id":52008430928199,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ Original A3 Canvas","offer_id":52008430960967,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/9892\/0007\/files\/bog_Meadows_feile_3a4505d2-7022-4a04-9982-bb6094c05a8d.png?v=1753540961"},{"product_id":"paths-that-bring-us-together-by-ciara-barry","title":"'Paths That Bring Us Together' by Ciara Barry","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"right\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003ePaths That Bring Us Together\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003e captures the gentle light and rolling greens of the Falls Park on a summer’s day. The shadows stretch long across the grass, and wildflowers bloom quietly in the corners, untouched and unbothered. The painting evokes not just the beauty of nature, but the presence of movement, of people passing through, of dogs bounding ahead. For the local community, spaces like this are not just for exercise — they are places of connection, shared stories, and spontaneous friendship. This piece pays tribute to the joy of walking side by side, the steady rhythm of footsteps, and the loyal dogs that guide us forward.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ciara Barry Creative","offers":[{"title":"Oil \/ A4","offer_id":52008437645639,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ A3","offer_id":52008437678407,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ Original A3 Canvas","offer_id":52008437711175,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/9892\/0007\/files\/Falls_Park_Feile.jpg?v=1753541192"},{"product_id":"reflections-by-ciara-barry","title":"'Reflections' by Ciara Barry","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"right\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eReflections portrays the peaceful surface of Half Moon Lake, where trees and sky fall into soft dialogue with the water below. The calmness of the scene holds space for memory and imagination alike. In West Belfast, this small urban lake has become a place for generations to meet and reconnect — to talk, to laugh, or simply to sit in silence. This painting invites the viewer to consider how our most meaningful moments are often the quietest, and how reflection — in both water and memory — brings depth to the bonds we carry through life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ciara Barry Creative","offers":[{"title":"Oil \/ A4","offer_id":52008443674951,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ A3","offer_id":52008443707719,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oil \/ Original A3 Canvas","offer_id":52008443740487,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/9892\/0007\/files\/Half_Moon_Feile_58669e18-22d9-432a-a1cf-e721778acb67.jpg?v=1753541379"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/9892\/0007\/collections\/bog_Meadows_feile.png?v=1753538984","url":"https:\/\/ciarabarrycreative.com\/collections\/feile-an-phobail-2025.oembed","provider":"Ciara Barry Creative","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
