Bicyclistic

For the bicycle that can carry everything, my Xtracycle enhanced bike whizzed around Dublin the other day with these 102cm x 76cm (40×30in) canvases on board helping it cut through the what Ireland was pretending was summer.

It can carry more, and carry bigger. Oh, and that’s a scanner on there too:

Liffey, 6 Landmarks
16″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
€165
S&H €11

Being from Dublin West, my route into and out of the city has never been a northside or southside artery but instead follows the river, along both banks of the Liffey’s quays and valley. So that’s why you’ve seen a few Dublin Liffey paintings of late, and that’s why you’ll be seeing more.

This painting is the view east along the river from Frank Sherwin Bridge towards Rory O’More Bridge, James Joyce Bridge, St Paul’s Church, the Four Courts, the Central Bank, and on out to the Poolbeg chimneys.

Sheep
24″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
€225 €165 SOLD
S&H €15

This is called simply Sheep not because it’s like a Star Trek reboot of my sheep paintings, but because it’s the first painting of sheep I started - having begun it years, yes years, before Sheep, Stone Wall and Sheep, Stone Wall II.

I like shapes. I like sheeps. The words are so similar I can’t help but paint them. Or pictures of them at any rate. They surrounded the cottage I lived in briefly in Donegal, and I’m told there’s some possibly coming to the grounds where my studio is. Either way, I’ll be painting more.

This painting Sheep is now SOLD.

Liberty Hall & O’Connell Bridge
16″ x 12″
canvas, unframed
SOLD

Standing at the wall of the river Liffey on Dublin’s Aston Quay I love looking at Liberty Hall in its party hat, and at the junction, which I’ve drawn and painted several times, of the bridge with O’Connell Street (Bachelor’s Walk and Eden Quay) - though obviously with the danger of getting lost in a fauvist Liffey.

The painting Liberty Hall and O’Connell Bridge sold direct from the studio.

This painting is painted on the sides which are approximately 0.75 inch wide.

It was very wet, it was very windy, it was sometimes sunny, and it was always fabulous. Here’s some photos of Knockan Stockan Music Festival in Wicklow that I took exactly a year ago.

As the original paintings I’ve done to date of the Birds Wires and Rooks Grass pictures are all sold, I’ve now made most of them available as prints together with some other bird paintings. More will be added.

The above picture is a collage of some of the bird paintings available as prints. It links to the Birds print page. Other bird paintings not depicted here will also be available at the link.

Prices start at under 30 USD.

Recently I showed some paintings at the People’s Art Exhibition on Stephen’s Green, Dublin. I won’t list all the items this time but paintings, packaging, tools, tea, stool, and everything needed to show the paintings on the railings, were all transported from my studio in Lucan the 15km (9.5 miles) or so to the city centre on my XtraCycle.

Here’s a glimpse of the show with the relevant before and after photos:

Dun Laoghaire Pier and Howth
20″ x 8″
canvas, unframed
€165
S&H: €11 Worldwide

I like shapes, and the profile of Howth Head along with the boats of Dun Laoghaire harbour are a favourite collection at any time of day. In this painting it’s clearly a sunny time of day, as the roaring red sky would indicate.

Cottage From Sheep Field
14″ x 10″
canvas, unframed
€149
S&H: €11 Worldwide

A cottage, somewhere rural in Ireland. You’ve seen others I’ve painted, and you’ll see more. This one is THAT cottage, the one I lived in briefly when I thought I was becoming an artist alone in the country, give or take a dog and a bicycle. You can read my cottage chronicles.

Technically speaking it’s Donegal, north Donegal even, and that ridge behind the cottage is the Derryreel Mountains which are just to the north of Muckish.

Liffey Bridges
14″ x 11″
canvas, painted sides, unframed
SOLD

I like a glut of bridges, and because the Liffey bends its way through Dublin’s city centre there are several points to enjoy such views. This particular one is from the south quays looking east to the pedestrian Millenium and Ha’penny bridges, and O’Connell bridge and the Loopline bridge (and Butt bridge too if your eyesight is really good), with Liberty Hall, the Custom House and the IFSC providing the familiar backdrop.

It was of course painted on a particularly orange day, though I must say I really don’t like this photograph of the painting.

Liffey Bridges is SOLD but the painting of Frank Sherwin Bridge is still currently available for purchase.
