Feast of Irish Colour

Monica Boyle Falacies of Hope VI
Yesterday I was delighted to discover the Barbara Stanley Gallery on Connaught Street which shows Irish contemporary art. What a find. I recognise some of the artists and loved seeing lots of Irish landscapes, as my own dissertation at university was on Irish landscape art. The soft atmospheric colours in some of the paintings are typically Irish with the good old Atlantic weather fronts blowing in - usually bringing rain!
I was struck by the rich glowing colours in Monica Boyle and Cormac O'Leary's paintings.

Looking forward to seeing more Irish art in future shows at this Gallery, especially having had a warm welcome from the owner.

New year, new series

I love January, hibernation month, spending time indoors - this year playing with ink and drawing.
I've really enjoyed sketching gorgeous flowering jasmine teas in glass. Studying majestic miniature underwater worlds.
Drawn and painted large-scale.




Great present from my sister-in-law.Thanks, Suzi!
