A Dublin #painting from way back. "Seven Buildings, Four Stories" was painted out of a love of buildings, the shapes they throw at you, and how they talk to a street. #art #SpeirGhorm

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

Ah, New Year’s Day! That can only mean one thing. YES, THAT’S RIGHT! The 148th anniversary of New York Herald proprietor James Gordon Bennett Jr being banished from polite society for pissing in his fiancée’s fireplace, thus giving the world the phrase ‘Gordon Bennett!’ 🧵

#painting "Dalkey" came out of monthly visits deep into the south coast of Dublin Bay. When it began I had knees so cycled there & back from west Dublin. Probably would have finished sooner than the 11 yrs later if I hadn't kept visiting, eventually by bus & train #art #ArtAdventCalendar #SpeirGhorm

#painting "Wicklow Sunrise" is another of my new paintings that sold last month. Once upon a time I sat up all night in Wicklow town and watched the sun rise over the Irish Sea. You don’t really need any more of a reason than that for why I painted this. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm #scape

#painting "The Gate Theatre, Dublin" I'm never entirely sure where the Rotunda, the Ambassador and the Gate all meet, but I love this view on Cavendish Row. Because of the shapes. Arches, curves, columns, a portico, a fountain, and a big roundy bit, as well as a modern squarish add-on. #SpeirGhorm

Given that just 4.25% of the world's population lives in the United States of America this might be the moment for the 95.75% of the rest of us to leave them to it.

Many overseas markets that the UK could be focusing on for example - you know like the fucking enormous one on our doorstep.
