St Patrick’s Day
St Patrick's Day Painting It has become a tradition that on St Patrick's Day I paint something green. This is from the photo I took in Courtown Woods and I was meaning to paint it for a long time. I've built this painting up by adding hundreads of small shapes which...
2020
2020 I was never a fan of summing up a year like it's some sort of book I just read and I have to give a book report. New year is just a date like any other and we can't just hit a reset button on Jan 1st as much as we might like to. But if I was to try and sum up...
Rose Petals
Rose Petal Picking My mum used to make jam filled doughnuts. They were the most delicious doughnuts I ever tasted and her secret was that she would add wild rose petals to the jam.There was a pink wild rose growing in our neighbourhood so whenever she was making jam...
Staying Home
Staying home. Here I am writing this post at the end of April, when I should be spending most of my time outdoors, creating or seeking inspiration. Walking, taking pictures but now, like everyone else, I'm confined to quarters. As the pandemic started I was staying...

The day It was a fine day about three weeks ago, one of the first this year that I gathered my bits and pieces and moved my studio to Gorey Civic Square albeit temporarily. I was on a mission and had a mural to paint so armed with bottles of paint, rollers, brushes,...
How long it takes to finish a painting and a privilege of buying art
privilege of buying art I have never bought an original piece of art. Shocked? It's not because I don't want to, of course I do! I am a painter, I love art , I look at art either online or in galleries every single day, and not because I have to, but because I want...
Studio Update
Studio update It's been over a month now since the official opening of my studio and it is fair to say that I am well settled in! To begin with in December i was open 6 days a week but since the new year I changed opening times (see below) to accommodate morning...
2018 Recap
2018 So a few days late but the time has come to say goodbye to the year that was 2018. How does one measure or assess a year? We all have our own ways whether it be checking bank balances or even counting any extra lines on your brow! But for me it's what I've...
