IrishKC after the Painting Tour of Ireland
If you subscribe to the Irish Times, then when you receive it you’ll see a feature on me in the magazine of the current Saturday edition. For now the article is also available online.
Other articles on my recent 12 week, 2,000 mile, cycling tour of Ireland in Irish and international media can be found on my Painting Tour site.
Dozens of paintings were completed on site during the tour. Others were started and are currently being completed, and will be posted online with all the Painting Tour paintings when ready.
Approximately 3,000 photos were taken, about 1 for every kilometer cycled, and to date over 250 have been posted online. More are being posted daily and added to the main collection of Ireland Painting Tour photos.
Over the next 3 months, once several commissions are finished, concentration will be on new paintings of Ireland coming out of the tour, and made available in a large December sale.
New commissions are being taken for starting in January and February - with January being close to booked up already with commissions received. The best place to stay up on news of new paintings and sales is to join my mailing list (simply enter your email address in the sidebar box on my personal Bicyclistic blog), or follow me eolai on twitter
With painting at the forefront IrishKC will continue to occupy a low priority with just sporadic postings, especially as it needs some backend updating before it’s in a position again for regular posting of Irish events in Kansas City.
For the most part the stronger regular events are already more than adequately catered for on FaceBook or elsewhere online though it’s still somewhat of a surprise to me that there is no site that attempts to pull together and aggregate content relating to all Irish news in the city rather than what is simply in its own interest.
