Remembering the women in the lives of the great men. Who would have been nothing without them. Here's a pencil and watercolour sketch I made in Venice some years ago. www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com

Oh really? Cool! I love the way people come over to see what I'm doing, too. Actually, now that I think about it, I need to go and do more of it again. I could always use the opportunity to tell them about the website and how they can subscribe to it.

Studying art makes you question yourself and who you are. It's good. #alwaysbechallenged. #orlaclancycontemporaryart

Nothing beats the sketching random people out living their lives. One of my favourite things to do ever. #lovedrawingepeople #loveurbansketching #supportlivingartists #irishwomanartist #orlaclancycontemporaryart

Stages of artwork - watercolour with wax crayon version of Cliffs of Moher The Bellies. A little experiment. To be added to the website once the glitch is sorted. Which I hope will be soon. #orlaclancycontemporaryart #irishwomanartist #peoplescape #crowdpainting

Frustratingly, I cannot get into my website www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com to work on it - there appears to be a serious glitch somewhere, but I can share some work not yet on it, so here goes. Ballyhoura Country from Ardpatrick Forest park in soft pastel. #art #irishwomanartist #landscapeart
