The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, is one of my family’s favorite movies of all time. Ron and I watched it the other night and I just had to do a portrait of the lovely Mary Kate. In this scene, she is watching Sean Thornton as he is sitting his horse, pausing during one of his hot-blooded rides through the countryside to try to assuage his frustration over not being able to marry Mary Kate.
Can anyone quote what Father Lonergan, as the narrator, said during this scene?
This is charcoal on 12×16 toned pastel paper.
This is Ireland, Sean, not America. Without her brother’s consent, she couldn’t and wouldn’t. I’m sorry for the both of ya. — Michaeleen Og Flynn

Yes. I know what Father Lonergan says. And the drawing looks great. As usual. I love you.
