I really enjoyed working with Kilcolman National School last May on painting a mural on Biodiversity for a Blast Project as part of the Arts in Education.
They were a fabulous bunch, ranging from juniors to fourth class, and they painted their mural over three days. They did an amazing job and everyone had a great time doing it.
Such a lovely bright and colourful mural, you'll find little ladybirds, butterflies, caterpillars, birds, bees and a hare of course. ☀️🥰

'Into the unknown'
10x10 " mixed media on cradled wood panel
When I say mixed media, this painting is a combination of PanPastel, charcoal and ink. I tend to take this approach as I never have plan as such of how a finished painting will look, it's more about the process and what feels right and I'm directed by how I feel. How do I know it's finished, it's just a feeling which can't be explained really, you just know.
Actually the title is perfect, I've just realised 🖤

To all the young people sitting their exams I'd like to wish you all the best of luck.
Do what you can, don't worry, take courage, believe in yourself.
There is so much more to life than exams, they don't define who you are, your lives are just beginning. ✨

I had a wonderful day in Kinvara at the plein air paint out. After a very drizzly start the day brightened up a bit. So nice to meet some new artists who were great company!
Looking forward to tomorrow, hope it will stay dry ☀️

The final selection for the RHA annual exhibition were announced yesterday, I didn't make it this time, I wasn't preselected either. I'm totally fine with it, such a huge decision to make, over 4,600 entries and only 420 make the final selection, that's a tough call.
Congratulations to all who made it through and commiserations to those who didn't!
This was one I submitted, one of my favourites so far this year, I'm not parting with him just yet 🖤

My first proper oil painting of 2025, isn't it great to be able to open the windows!
This is a view just across the road 💕

I had the pleasure this morning to speak with Joe Nash and Eileen O'Malley PR and Communications manager of @jackandjillcf live on Joe's morning show on @live95limerick
The Incognito 2025 art sale will raise much needed funds for the Jack and Jill Children's Foundation, to date they have raised €1.2 million which is just amazing!!
The sale begins on the 11th and 12th of April in the Incognito Gallery in Charlemont Square and the online collection will be live at 8am April 16th.
Each piece costs €70 and you won't know who the artist is until the reveal afterwards. Artists from all over Ireland and the world will be involved, it's a fantastic opportunity to begin your art collection while supporting a very worthy cause.
These are just a few of the pieces I have donated over the years.
Here's the link to find out more about how to be involved..

Yesterday evening saw the unveiling of the 'Handled With Care Project' at the University Maternity Hospital Limerick.
100 local artists each painted a small canvas which were then assembled to create a mosaic.
The installation will be displayed in the Cafeteria area of the hospital making it a vibrant and engaging environment.
Artist @giuliacoliart did an amazing job organising the whole project, I was delighted to take part in this beautiful initiative ❤️

I thought I'd try and make a video of my process, or at least part of it. If I get the hang of it there may be more!!
The beginning of this Hare is all pan pastel, I love the marks it can make and it's easily removed to make areas lighter where needed.
Still a work in progress, I'll post the finished hare soon.
