Later than promised I have finally made available some Irish paintings on SALE.

There’s 82 paintings (SOLD: 36). The main part for me isn’t the newer small stuff, but the older larger abstracts that ideally I’d prefer not to sell.

Here are some notes about this December 2008 sale:

1. Shipping is free worldwide

2. I will be adding from 10 to 20 new pieces into this sale over the next couple of weeks.

3. This sale will last for 2 weeks, or maybe a bit longer.

4. I say “Irish Paintings” but you’ll see other countries in there too. And a lot of abstract stuff devoid of nationality.

5. Rather than a cohesive collection of new work, this sale is born of desperation and is composed of new and old.

6. PayPal links are on every paintings page so you can use a credit card, but if you know me and can get money to me directly I’d be happy not to pay fees.

7. Paintings are priced in USD even though I am based in Dublin. Prices range from $25 to $95 - at today’s rates that’s 20-75 euros.

8. If you want something in time for Christmas and you live far away from Ireland - you’ll want to act very fast (and then so will I).

9. If you live in or visit Dublin, we can possibly arrange a handover ignoring those Post Office people.

10. There is no stock control function built into the PayPal links so when something is purchased I have to manually mark it so to prevent duplicate selling. In the event I’m too slow (it’s happened twice before) then it’s a case of first come first served.

11. Last time I had a sale like this I was very slow in shipping some pieces. That won’t happen this time because now I have a studio - then I was living out of a suitcase with no space and all my materials in storage.

12. PayPal isn’t perfect. Lately they’ve been rejecting several valid credit cards of mine and people known to me. If you have problems give me a shout.

13. I intend this to be the last sale of older stuff. Now that I’m finally in a studio future sales should be of new work. To that end I’m more excited about 2009 than I am about this sale.

14. If nothing in this is for you for whatever reason, you could still help me a lot by letting people know about it. Email, blog, tweet, or that old-fashioned word of mouth lark.

15. Most if not all paintings are depicted without a signature. Either I have yet to sign a work or I have obscured the signature online. Any purchased paintings will be signed. The Minis will be signed on the back.

16. If you’re nervous about buying a painting you’ve only seen on a screen - I don’t blame you. Colours differ, and 2 inch paintings look the same size as 40inch paintings. All I can say is that, although it regularly surprises me, people who have bought paintings from me tell me they found the paintings to be better than they expected. It could just be that I take lousy photos.

17. There are no paintings in this sale that come from my recent Donegal misadventure. There will be paintings from that experience in the future though.

Anyway, I hope you get some enjoyment from looking at my Irish paintings on SALE.
