Inspired but David Bowie album ,Aladin Sane. (very looselyinspired, just the vibe of it really ~and the colour scheme~)

"looking forward" 18x24 oil on canvas

this one's about how easy it is to get depressed while chronically ill & disabled, and how i combat it by "looking forward" (😉) to the future and the good things it may have in store for me.

what if i started posting my paintings here lol

"50%" 18x24in oil and thread (NOT SPAGHETTI) on canvas

this piece is meant to be representative of chronic migraines, symbolized by the thread, and funky lines and textures, and a monochromatic color scheme. the title itself is a reference to the fact that, on average, i have a migraine about 50% of days. really fun stuff right? but it's important to express our frustrations someway, somehow, and my personal favorite method is by using the creative arts. im not a very outwardly expressive person, so art is where i turn to.

‘Creation’ - Oil on Canvas 32” x 48″ Fine Art Original

This piece is part of a larger series that taps into my roots/ancestry and the working class/post industrial town where I was raised. It’s an examination of both the personal and collective drive of that era of our past, from the late 1800s through the early 1900s, and a further reflection of the future it helped create.

Cian Mc Loughlin at Molesworth

🟠🔵🟠🔵🟠🔵🟠🔵🟠🔵

Cian Mc Loughlin's exhibition 'Zero Is An Even Number' opened at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 tonight. There was a lively atmosphere. The venue was packed. Cian's artwork comprised oil on canvas paintings and oil on board wall sculptures.

🟡🟣🟡🟣🟡🟣🟡🟣🟡🟣

As artist in residence in the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, he had created his exhibition to explore how our brains interpret what our eyes see. He had covered his artwork with tiny dots made with laser cut stencils. I particularly enjoyed viewing his yellow painting like Tired of Buttoning and Unbottoning' I - IV. His exhibition will run until 30th Nov 2024.

Neal Greig at Gormleys

I also attended Neal Greig's opening at Gormleys, 27 Fredrick Street South, Dublin 2 D02 EP03 which was just as enjoyable. His exhibition of rugged and wild seascapes were full of energy and a pleasure to view. However, I loved his three paintings 'June River Butonne', 'Dream Lake' and 'Butonne River'. They were peaceful and, to my eye, evoked scenes of the Mangrove Swamps in and around Florida. Neal's show will run Until 29th Oct 2024.

Mark Francis at the Kerlin

This evening, I attended the opening of Mark Francis' exhibition 'Accustic Oceans' at the Ketlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, South Anne Street, Dublin 2. The venue was packed with a lively atmosphere. There was plenty of chat.

The colours in Mark's paintings shimmered against each other. These compositions were created with vertical narrow stripes in pale and dark colours. I liked his red and black paintings such as 'Subtonic' and 'Dubmagnet'. They appeared, to my eye, extra rich and warm.

Mark's exhibition will run until 24th Aug 2024. It was well worth going.

Maggie's paintings were painted in beautiful purples, pinks and yellows. They all looked summery and cheerful. Their subject matter were mainly flowers and landscapes painted in a semi abstract style. Maggie's exhibition will continue until the 20th July 2024. It is well worth seeing.

Mick O'Dea at Molesworth

Last night, I attended the very popular opening of Mick O'Dea's exhibition 'What Is The Stars?' at the Molesworth Gallery, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. Mick's paintings were a nice size; not too large or small. There was a lovely sense of light and shadow in their compositions.

Each painting protrayed actors preparing to go on stage or undertaking dress rehearsals. The plays in question were Sean O'Casey's trilogy, 'The Plough and the Stars', The Shadow of a Gunman' and 'Juno and the Paycock' all performed at the Druid Theatre.

My favourite painting was called 'Direction' which featured a pub scene. It was full of life and drama that centered around a barman behind a counter. Mick's exhibition will run until 15th May 2024.

Spring at the Solomon

Tonight, I attended the opening of the Spring Group Show at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 D02 T802 beside the Westbury Hotel. The venue was packed. I didn't get to see everything.

However, I loved the simplicity of 'Broighter Boat IV' (2024) by John Behan, the detail in 'Four Lamb Loin Chops' (2024) and the character of 'Nabresina Playtime' by Michael Quain. I enjoyed the curvy lines of 'Trust Issues' by Orla de Bri and the eye-catching qualities of 'Untitled 37302' (2005) by Carbon Walker. The atmosphere at Solomon Fine Art was very lively. There was plenty of beautiful sculptures and paintings to view. The show will continue until 27th Apr 2024. It was well worth the effort of going.

O'Mhaonaigh at Kevin Kavanagh

Just back from the opening of Sinéad Ní Mhaonaigh's exhibition 'Dwelling' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dub 8. Most of Sinéad's paintings were the same shape and size which gave consistency to her exhibition. My favourite painting was the large yellow one called 'Dweling' because it was cheerful. The venue was busy, the atmosphere lively. Sinéad's exhibition will run until 2nd Mar 2024.

Dáire Lynch at Gallery X

I saw the opening of Dáire Lynch's exhibition at Gallery X, 11 Hume Street, Dublin called 'The Light Falls Softly'. The venue was packed. There were many paintings on view which ranged in size and content. However, most of Dáire's paintings were figurative in genre.
