Back in the Studio
Just to update the re-roof watchers: I’m back in the studio and painting again.
It’s going to take a couple of months to get it back to rights following the renovations, mostly because I have to concentrate on getting paintings finished right now. So until I rescue and de-debris most of my boxes, I’ve set up half of the studio to work - like so:
You’re looking at 2 walls of paintings in progress. There are more not in view. The latest plan is for some of these to be posted in an online sale over the next couple of weeks, and others to appear in a show.
I’ll keep you posted.
The building itself is still a construction site covered in scaffolding, with heavy renovations ongoing right outside my door, but I should be able to accept visitors again very shortly. In the meantime you can always have a look at the photos of how the studio and yard looked before the renovations began.
Studio Re-Roof Status
Just a post to let everyone that the studio is still not back in a condition to accept visitors. The scaffolding went up in November, and the roof was taken off over 7 weeks ago. Throw in Christmas, the snow, burst pipes, and a technical matter relating to guttering, and I’m still not yet back in there painting.
It’s a construction site and, I suspect, will be for some time:
This is what it looks like inside. Half of the studio, the whole length of it, has survived with just felt for a roof. This would be the half with the wet sections.
Somewhere under there is everything but some paints and brushes, and most paintings in progress. That’s a whole lot of art materials as well as things like my sketchbooks, photos, and art reference books. And since most stuff was moved into these piles by other people, I don’t know where most things are.
This is down the end behind the tent:
So I’ll have a spot of cleaning to do when I do get back in.
Apologies to everyone I’ve had to turn away in the last couple of months, but I think now it really is only days away from my return.
I don’t do well being separated from my stuff.
Painting: To The Beach
Here’s the 2nd of 2 paintings finished recently that went to Moscow.
To The Beach
40.5 x 30.5 cm (16 x 12 inches)
I started this painting so many years ago I can’t even remember where exactly it’s of anymore. It was originally of a scene somewhere in the Killary Harbour area, the fjord that separates Connemara from Mayo. I’ll have changed it since then though, because you can do that with a paintbrush, and my memory isn’t what it used to be.
Before my brief attempt at living in Donegal, north of Killary was where I had most looked to live (after fruitless searches for a cheap cottage on Innishmaan).
When it was finished it went straight to Russia with Coast, The West, which is why it’s not a great photo - the light was lousy in the few minutes I had with it.
To The Beach is SOLD.

All The Photographs
I’ve put together a page of photos.
It highlights many of the individual photos I regularly post, and also links to collections and collages that I’ve posted on other sites as well as here on Bicyclistic.
The plan is to link up more collections, including many from my travels that have yet to be posted anywhere - probably because they’ve never been scanned.
Painting: Coast, The West
Here’s a new painting finished a few days ago.
Coast, The West
23 x 18 cm (9 x 7 inches)
Sometimes with landscapes I start with somewhere in particular in mind, and then I take liberties which I hope results in a painting of my experience there. This is one of those times.
Coast, The West was SOLD upon completion and went directly to Moscow. I currently have several paintings in the same style nearing completion. They should be posted here for sale later this month.

Photo: Half Moon Over Snowy Roofs
We’ve been here before. Blue sky with moon, roofs with snow, and all carved into shapes by wires. We’ll be here again.
For what it’s worth I tend to spend a large part of my life looking around cropping in my head images like this. I rarely actually photograph them though, let alone post them online.
Some Other Dublin Photos:
• No Parking
• Dublin Pub: The Oval
• Dublin Photo: Literary Parade
• Dublin, Beckett Bridge by Moonlight
• Snowy Sunset, Dublin
• Dublin, A Horse
Photo: Snow View
My little American dog used to enjoy watching the snow in Kansas City, so yesterday in Ireland Dog-Dog was very much at home. If you know what I mean.
Not so deep that I used a dustpan to dig her a trail where you’d only see her ears like in the US, but still enough snow to make it a black and white world - just like Missouri was.
Some Other Photos:
• Snowy Sunset, Dublin
• Blue and White
• And Her Streets Of Cobbled Stone
• Door: Number 18
• Abbey Street, That Door
• Blue Paint, Blue Sky
Photo: Snowy Sunset Dublin
Much as I don’t like being out in the snow (I really don’t, so don’t go trying to convert me), I am enjoying a lot of the images it throws up. The skies especially have me frequently entranced.
Thanks to walks with the dog I have a fair few photos like this one looking towards the mountains in south Dublin.

Paintings For Sale
New paintings tend to sell fast, usually within 2 days, sometimes within minutes. (They’re posted first on LiamDalyArt on Facebook)
So this page is for the paintings that take longer to sell. I try to keep it updated so that it represents all that are currently available for purchase.
There is also a separate page with abstract paintings for sale

If you prefer not to use PayPal you can pay me direct - by cash or transfer or cheque/check. I actually prefer that as it saves me paying fees to PP, but work away on the PayPal links if you prefer to pay that way.
As paintings are sold I’ll mark them as sold and a little while later remove them from this page.
