Yey! It’s hard to underestimate the important of this day in my family. Growing up with my dad he went to some extreme measures to give the day it’s due respect. And it seems my generation are just as bad.
Have a good Pancake Tuesday.
It’s a dirty day here but these wellies cheered me up !

I was delighted to see that lovely people in Ireland Homes Interiors and Living Magazine gave my upcoming duo show a mention this month.
The two-person show featuring my work and that of Canadian artist Amélie Gagné will open Easter Weekend. Amélie, based in Killarney, and I have known each other for some years now and we both exhibit in the Killarney Art Gallery.
The show will be a riot of colour and will feature about 30 pieces between us. It will open the Friday of the Easter weekend and run right through April. Check out the mention of the show in this month’s magazine
More info to come on the show nearer the time.

So today is the day. I’ve reached my spring deadline!
20 paintings for the London Affordable Art Fair in March (tick) 14 for a joint show in at the Killarney Art Gallery at Easter (tick) and a small number spread across galleries in Ireland (tick).
The work is done now but I have a little touching up to do, lots of varnishing and then sorting and shipping.
It’s fantastic of course but I am, as usual, racked with the worry of whether or not they’re any good or good enough.
But these doubts are familiar by now. This is where I have to take my courage in my hands, take a leap of faith and let them go!
Scary monsters!

You know that thing that people sometimes ask? “Who would you most like to have dinner with?” People often answer with folks like Morgan freeman or Pelie or Martin Luther king?
Well, I came across this video from the Sartorialist on a lunch he held for his fashion icons in Florence. Now I’m fully aware that I wouldn’t be invited and even if I was I’d stick out like a sore thumb but, in the spirtit of that “who’d you like to have lunch with” game, I wouldn’t mind joining joining these guys for lunch.

By the way, The Sartorialist is a guy who is a fashion photographer/people watcher/artist. I’ve bloged an amazing video about him here before and this video is full of his usual style.
