Bertie Pennie - The Gateway to the Sluice

The Gateway to the Sluice depicts a setting sun through the archway to the sluice on the layd (small canal) which ran parallel to Currells Avenue from Ballygarvey woolen mill to the river Braid. For the artist, this evokes memories of idly kicking autumn leaves, crisp winter mornings and lazy never-ending summer days.
