What a beautiful picture - watercolour?

Still, looks like Corcaigh to me.

Schnee.
My town is known as the little Cork.
No it isn't.
I just made that up.
But it is a Corking little town!
Arf, arf.
And somewhere the ghost of Bob Monkhouse is smiling.
(Or groaning.)
Gertrude Coffey plays with perspective and gets really interesting effects that don't quite come out on the internet version.
As surely as I can tell watercolours, this is indeed a watercolour.
