Artists Commentary:

Nora -- The Galway Woman

This watercolour painting is from the wedding photograph of Nora Barnacle Joyce taken on 4th July, 1931. She is emerging from Kensington Registry Office having married James Joyce (1882-1941), with whom she had lived in an inseparable and amazingly devoted and loving relationship for 28 years. They had two children, Georgia and Lucia at this time.

I have done this original watercolour painting in the style popularized by Andy Warhol. ©
