A few more paintings and drawings since last posting..
Acrylic. Mother holding her new baby in her arms. Baby has a very determined look and small fist raised - Ready to take on the world. Acrylic paint and permanent pen picture of dog's face on stone. The owner was unable to keep the dog so this was a small picture for the owner to remember the dog by. Pencil sketch of three hands holding each other. A drawing of my better half's hand held either side by my two grown boys' hands. A colour acrylic painting of my much better half and myself having a happy moment as we look into each other's eyes.

Dog portrait finished. A pencil Pastel picture requested by someone to commemorate a recently deceased family pet. It looks such a lovely dog and I hope it's a fitting tribute for the owner.

A sports hero. Ciara Mageean. Sad to hear her news today that she's been diagnosed with cancer. She's a fighter as she says. Hoping she'll win this battle - she's a winner always ❤️ (Pencil and ink sketch of Ciara on a multi media paper)

Nice weather of late. The celtic summer started on May 1 and that inspired a few colourful pieces of rock art to be left for people to find in the local park. #art #Bealtaine #Rockart

Watched Wales v Ireland rugby and this guy was immense. He fought for everything and came off bloodied in the end but not beaten. Here's my sketch of Bundee Aki, enjoying the winning after the game. Bualadh Bos Bundee! #BundeeAki #Rugby #SixNations #6Nations

Some rock art ahead of Valentine's Day. A few gifts for the locals...😁 #rockart #art #acrylics

Just a rock painting.. but it meant much to someone who asked for it. Art to me is what art means to someone else. I don't ask anything. I prefer they donate to a charity they know in lieu of payment. That way, a few of us benefit. #rockart #acrylic #art #drawing

Cold days make great weather for the hobbies. I've been doing some rock art. These bird pieces of European robins were requested by those wanting to place them on loved ones' graves. #Robins #Art #Rockart

"Bracing!" A view from Carrickgollogan hill in Shankill, Dublin. The wind would cut you as they say. Such a lovely day all the same for some fresh air. #Shankill #Scenic #Dublin

Horrible day in Dublin. Rain, rain and more rain. Great day to do a quick pencil/ watercolour/ acrylic picture I was asked to try for someone. It's raining cats... #art #cats #drawing

SEVERE WEATHER WARNING!

Met Eireann warned that anyone travelling should take a shovel, blankets/ sleeping bag, extra warm clothing, 24hr supply of food and drink, de-icer, rock salt, torch & spare batteries, petrol can, first aid kit and jump leads.

I looked a right prat on the bus.

I doodle a bit. I drew this for myself using Adobe Fresco on an iPad. I've only started with Fresco in the past week. I generally use Procreate but Fresco allows for vector drawing which is cool. #YNWA #LFC #ArneSlot

It's just a lighthouse but it's a Cascais lighthouse. Beautiful location, gorgeous weather and a nod to the summer weather we didn't have back in Ireland. 😎

Very wet day here in Dublin. Might be a day to do some more drawing. It's been a while since I did one like these. #art #pencils #pencil #drawing

I draw for fun, NOT a living. I'd like to share some of my pieces, good or bad. The enjoyment is in the doing and not necessarily the result! Here is a pencil pastel (on pastelmat) pic of a starling.

Having had a break from being owned by dogs since last March when the last of our three passed, we decided to be rescued again by these two. Welcome to your new home, Bonnie and Freddie. It's all yours!
