Some new work - exploring circular compositions (tondo) can be challenging but worthwhile as it presents interesting challenges. I’m not a big Bluesky user but I do appreciate the positivity. #dublinartist #offalyartist #acrylicpainting

I paint….i create, I’m determined to express myself without restriction. In the limited sphere of social media there is payment for your adventure and so, I explore without notice, care or influence.

I am not 100% but I think I found it @doublezcreative.bsky.social Ye must get this all the time - apologies x

Statement from Illustrators Ireland on genAI. Any writer or musician worth their salt would care enough about their own work to avoid the use of genAI images. Damaging other workers in the arts for short-term gain is incredibly selfish and hugely disappointing. www.instagram.com/p/DKKAmTLi3Z...

My work examines loss and memory - moving from representative work, I meditatively make marks/brushstrokes to find the form. I started painting at night while caring for a family member. While exhausting work, painting help me return to finding new way of communicating/reflecting.

Having a visit from my neighbours pup definitely helps the creative spirit! Have a lovely Sunday and enjoy the day.

Escalating warnings of a potential Russian attack on NATO have raised fears in the Baltic states that they could be next in the crosshairs. Talk about a potential Russian invasion is "very common at parties, gatherings, lunch breaks, water cooler talk," one Vilnius resident says.

While this time in the media is particularly dark with that individual, it also important to throw light on the bravery of victims and those affected.

A huge number of us are or will be carers at some point in our lives and the lack of either respect or support by so many politicians, including the leader of the country, for the enormous work done and the emotional and physical toll it takes is infuriating. Completely out of touch.

On Sunday, Dec 1st, The end of year exhibition to @hensteethdublin in Dublin 8. I will include this work for sale - 30% of the proceeds go to charity (tbc). Pop down & say hi, it should be a lovely group show. #dublinireland #art #painting #artistsofbluesky #Dublin8 #Hensteeth #opencall #christmas

Dot and line 30cm x 30cm Exploring hard edge painting again (after a long time) and combining with newer brushwork. Everything takes time but it’s the value of that time that is most important. #line #dot #artistsofbluesky #irishartist #dublin

How many of these do we have?

Embroidery was something I unexpectedly enjoyed - this is a beautiful example of the possibilities of different stitches.
