"Kinsale IV" Your (very) late #painting this evening is from the southwest of #Ireland. And quite a large one, relatively, for me - being about 120cm wide (likely to need clicking to see more than the small crop shown by default in streams). This painting came out of a holiday where I stayed in a horrible place to look at but a wonderful place to look from - as in it gave me this view. Photo quality isn't great - sorry - and prints are not available. #Art #MastoArt #MastoDaoine #Artist

Very wide panorama format of loosely painted acrylics. Under a yellow sky and into a yellow body of water, a headland juts out from the right almost all the way to the left edge. It is a dark maroon and blue mass with indistinct blobs of various greys representing buildings of a town, and a cluster of paler ones with masts representing a marina. The same colours, shapes and outlines are reflected in the water with just a slight wobble. In the distance at the left edge is another dark wine landmass. Signed top left: Liam Daly

"Parkgate Street I" Late with your first #painting today. Always loved this street, being my gateway into #Dublin's city centre how ever I'm travelling, and I'm partial to a pint there in the Victorian pub setting that is Ryan's, but I especially like the - relatively - new Criminal Courts building and how it dwarfs the older buildings (may need to click to see fully). #Art #Ireland

Landscape format in very loosely painted acrylics. Orange surfaced street showing a dozen 3-storey buildings in oranges and pinks of different heights, closer on right edge and distant on left. Cars are parked all the way along. Buildings have white highlights and blue windows. Some have corner stones and some have dormer windows. One in the centre has a large dark arch in its two upper storeys. Behind the row of buildings is the top of dark green trees, and a huge circular building, twice their height, made of rectangular vertical glass panels of blues and greens, and reaches the painting top and both sides. Yellow sky peeps into the top, more so at corners as the large building curves away at either side.

There’s something about a small boat on a calm lake that just begs to be photographed. And when you add in the backdrop of hills shrouded in clouds and the texture of the reeds in the foreground, it becomes a picture-perfect moment.

Capturing that moment, though, can be a challenge. You want to make sure you get just the right angle and lighting to do it justice. But when you finally get that shot, it’s all worth it.

After #cycling from Youghal I sat for hours on rocks by a beach with my bicycle below on the strand as I painted the view out to the water and the island. For hours. So many hours I didn't notice the tide come in and wash through my bike. Then a wheel jammed so to escape I had to drag it along the beach through the water. #Art

Landscape format. View out to sea and horizon two-thirds of the way up the painting where left of centre sits a steep green-sloped island housing a black lighthouse on its small flat top, with a white surround wall that zigzag down to the rocky bottom of dark alizarin beside the water. Sky behind island is pale blue with a couple of horizontal wisps of cloud of even paler blue. Sky immediately to right of island is very dark, with a reddish tint, cloud that is almost black at the horizon and very smokey at edge near island. The sea is shades of blue and rippling with very small waves breaking in the foreground into white foam and pale green pattern onto just about visible edge of yellow beach along the bottom edge.

Landscape format in painterly acrylics. Grey wing of a jet aeroplane extends out along the left edge to the top. Below is a patchwork of irregular shaped green fields, of many shades of green - like with elements of yellow, ochre, and blue, as well as hues of leaf greens. Blue and wine rough lines are hedgerows. In the distance close to the very high horizon are small marks indicating buildings. The sky is a narrow band of very pale blue with underlying pink, and a tiny sliver of pale blue is a bay between the sky and part of the land.

@christineburns I love the provision of human shelter as a by-product of solar charging. We have very little shelter outside of enclosed shopping centres. We could have solar canopies on the paths to shopping centre car parks, over footpaths on shopping streets, and within parks.
The sad reality in #Ireland so far is a few budget supermarkets claiming the green credentials of solar roofs, and then not maintaining the charging points, which are rarely functioning.

If you're in #Ireland, it would be a good time to #WearAMask again (if you ever stopped). The positive rate has almost doubled in March. Hospitalizations are up almost 150%. COVID ICU patients have almost tripled in 10 days. #COVID19 numbers are still far below past peaks but are edging above the average for the past six months. And the trends are all still upward, which I think we can generally expect in the coming month or two thanks to new immune-evasive variants.

Let's continue the Ireland vibes into #PhotoMonday. This shot was taken in Dublin on Trinity Street and Dame Lane. I may or may not have had a couple drinks at this point. https://flic.kr/p/2ooiJ6B

As the rain poured down on a gloomy evening in Dublin, a group of young people were out and about, determined not to let the weather dampen their spirits.

Me? I was on my way back to our hotel to get out of the rain!
