FIDDLER OF LEGANANNY  Limited Fine Art Print By Dee McNally (1/75) (In Deirdre's own words) 

Fiddler of Legananny

I loved the pictures  this poem conjured up in my head.

The fiddler, a lone man ,  I think a quiet man,  who communicated  through his music.

When he played  his demeanour changed.   He became a charismatic figure. The tunes flowed through his fingers and into the night air with such  a compelling charm that it was nigh on impossible not to swirl and sway and twirl and believe in the magic.

The wee folk, ah the wee folk. The pictures THEY conjured up.

Goblins, imps, pixies ,elves, fairies, and sprites spinning around in my mind.  All vying for attention.

Which ought I choose to dance til dawn in the soft grass of the fairy fort?

Like the fiddler with his music, the Goblins, imps, pixies ,elves, fairies, and sprites flowed through my fingers as I sketched and painted until  I had a plethora of mostly  brightly coloured paintings  laid out in front of me.

As I set out to capture the luminescence, the magic and  of that night,  I began to think of the line  ‘white hand in white hand’ and  the wee folk began to  become real to me.

 They started to take a form, they emerged.  Dainty, exquisite and unworldly, they took their rightful place under the moonlight to  as the fiddler bade the dance begin.
