Two paintings


Two paintings , two gifts


" Seanie and Ned", acrylic on paper
30cms x 40 cms

It gave me great pleasure to do this painting of Seanie and his treasured best pal , Ned. The impetus to paint this came after his dog died, of old age, as they do , ..but not until Seanie had spent months tending to his pal with trips to the vet , administering various potions and pills, and trying to stave off the inevitable day. Seanie had been a brick to my Dad, in the months before he died, as he tended to Dad's beloved garden, rebuilding walls , edging lawns, trimming hedges, and quietly being present in the background. It helped him hugely , simply knowing that there was a man about that was able to do the things he no longer could, even if only for a while until things would get " sorted".
So, now this painting hangs in prided place, and I know its loved which is a real gift for me.



"Eniskerry" watercolour,
30cms x 40cms.

And this watercolour was a Christmas present for Janet, who grew up in Eniskerry village , and despite living in Dublin for a long while now, has a huge bond with Eniskerry.

Community Arts - Irish Rugby Legends Portraits Exhibition, September 2011.

 The enthusiasm for this exhibition came from Terry Connaughton, the director of Ranelagh Arts..  One of my all time memories of Terry will  be of him - sitting huddled up, beside an electric fire, doing a days work, in layers of coats and scarves, in the depths of our coldest winter in my living memory ( remember night time temperatures of -17c , and daytime ones of     -5c )  last winter, in Ranelagh Arts Centre.  Terry arrived to the centre, everyday, - day after day, week after week , on the coldest , bleakest, most unfriendly days..and was often was the only one in there, working away..working towards his vision of RA being a vibrant, community hub of all the artforms. The Ranelagh Arts building was nothing like it is these days, there was a lot to do...still is ..and will be..and the future of it is uncertain. His all time hero ( since childhood)  has been Jack Kyle, who has often been described as...

Doggie artworks

I love dogs, and this year I have been working on some doggie images. Here are a few..this one is of Sammy, my friend Jennie's Westie.... It is done with chalk pastel on Ingres paper, - I like the dry, chalky , matt, feeling of working in this medium. It can be dusty and messy to work with , but all this is forgiven, as these pastels are so easy to transport. "Boxer puppy", acrylic on canvas 30cms x 20cms Sometimes, a painting paints itself without much effort from the artist , and this is what happened here , - I was surprised to see this wee dog looking back at me. Some times this happens me when i work with animals. This is a mixed media work on canvas of Pucci, a much adored  2 year old lab. Not a great photo. This work is on a large canvas ( A1) size , and is worked up using acrylic, pastel and inks. Above is "Valentine", a mixed media on canvas. He is a rescue dog , an American bulldog crossbreed who was lucky t...

Mountpleasant Community Street Art Mural Project, Ranelagh Arts Festival.

One rainy, cold day in Spring 2013, a few of us were sitting in the back office of Ranelagh Arts Centre, wrecking our heads trying to think of new projects to put forward for Ranelagh Arts Festival later that year. Mountpleasant Mural Project was  an idea we felt might work. It would involve  collaborative  Community Paintings, which would eventually be on display as outdoor art in a local area. We proposed  that we would  create 4 -6   permanent outdoor 2D artpieces for the enjoyment of local community for display in Mounpleasant Park in Ranelagh, Dublin...and that we would involve the   the local RMDS Primary school, local community and park visitors in the creation of some of the pieces. At the end of it, we hoped to have  a few o utdoor permanent paintings in the park for all to enjoy, and  which would hopefully inspire community and other artists to the potential of projects like these in the city/country. We felt ...
