Paddy’s Week For Me
At this moment in time I’m holed up in the loft of a stable in Ireland, my studio, for every waking hour and most of the sleeping ones too.
On Saturday, March 19th 2011, I’m showing paintings in Belfast at the Europa Hotel. I’m leaving Dublin west and taking them up on Friday but first I have to finish painting them or there’s nothing to take.
That means Thursday is the final day for painting. Thursday, March 17th - St Patrick’s Day. National holiday it may be but there’ll be no parade, festival, music, or drink for me that day in Dublin as I’ll be working away here maybe stopping to watch the chickens or walk through the woods to the river.
If I get a chance I’ll post some more Irish events in the KC area for the rest of this week and the big day - but I may not get that chance. You’ll be grand without me again anyway, I’m sure.
The paintings in progress are all Irish ones - of Dublin city centre, trees, leaves, and birds, and Donegal, Kerry and the west of Ireland. After the show I’ll post them online. They’ll first be shown to my mailing list, then onto my personal blog, then I’ll tell people following me on twitter, and finally I’ll tell those who have friended me on FaceBook.
I may or may not post them here on IrishKC too, but if I do it’ll be the last place to be notified. If you wish to see the paintings first - go to Belfast. If that’s not an option then if you want to be among the first to see the paintings online sign up for my mailing list - you can do that in the sidebar of my blog, Bicyclistic. It should only take a few seconds as nothing is needed except your email address (and you have to confirm it so I don’t spam you).
In case we don’t talk again: Enjoy your week! I’ll be working.
