Description
Part of a series I am working on.
Self Portrait.
Aoibheall is a famous fairy queen of County Clare, Ireland.
Her name has been translated as "bright", "sparkling", and "beautiful", all things which are generally attributed to goddessess.
Aibheall is said to have a magical golden harp which was only heard by those of Clann UíBriain, whoever heard its music did not live long afterwards. For this reason she has been referred to as "banfháidh Om Briain", meaning "prophetress of Clann UíBriain".
It was that harp Cuchulain heard the time his enemies were gathering against him, and he knew by it that his life was near its end.

Featured your incredible photography here:
A Tune In TimeIt's too easy to talk about beauty and affirming the potential we aspire to. It's too easy to overlook what happens down the street, in neighborhoods you seldom enter, in countries you wouldn't think of going to, as we hurdle towards a darkening future. It's too easy to get stuck in the mundane and not expand our perspective by educating ourselves about the past and other cultures. What is relevant, and important, to spend my time doing, so that in the end I have not lived just for myself, my close family and friends, my work and hobbies? I say this to prepare you, because although these features are pretty, fun, and link the DA community more, I need to return focus to more important things I began, so by mid-November, I will drop down to one feature a month. Thank you for visiting these wonderful artists' galleries and please check out the music video at the end and the movie recommendation. Love in Christ always, -Debra 
Have a blessed day! -Debra

Brilliant my friend. You have the vision, the eye, and the skills to craft astonishing works that truly are worthy of being in a prestigious gallery, and more importantly, give voice to the visions of your choice of concept in ways that are easy for the viewer to grasp, to engage in, and to become a part of.
