Here are some of my abstract paintings. I am obsessed with squares and right angles, so when you are talking to me I am likely to be looking over your shoulder at windows and where walls meet ceilings. It’s the same reason I paint streetscapes so much.

I asked you to identify a painting of mine from an an earlier picture of it in progress. For comparison here’s the finished painting beside the picture of it in progress that I showed you.
So yes, Burren Dolmen is the answer. There were a lot of correct answers, though Nephin was also a popular [...]
Identify this painting. The 1st person to leave a comment telling me what this pictured painting in progress became wins an original painting of their choice from the prizepool.
The prizepool was extended today up to 20 paintings after I added in several paintings that are in the current sale of paintings. They are still for [...]

Regular readers will know that my painting arm, my right, has been out of action for a couple of months and so my other arm, my left, has been in training - learning to draw and to paint. Well here’s an early drawing with my left hand - done about 6 weeks ago - [...]
The prices of abstract paintings are being increased at the end of the week to about double their current prices.
The lower prices were only ever intended as a short term feature, and the new prices will keep them in line with the prices of my other paintings.
You can see my abstract paintings on the far [...]
The painting below of The Claddagh in Galway sold at the last show. When I delivered it, their very young son asked me if the houses were for animals. Further into the conversation he explained that he had asked that question because he could see [drumroll] what kind of animals in the painting?

Here’s an old painting I thought I’d post to mark the passing of Vincent O’Brien last week.
I’m not certain but I think Racing Conversation may even be the first painting I ever sold. Certainly prior to selling it I wasn’t in the habit of offering my paintings for sale.

The pains started as I did an excessive amount of painting just before the last show, and they have increased since. Holding a brush hurts.
To help the arm recover I’m cutting back on all activities that exacerbate the condition. The [...]
