#painting "Wicklow Sunrise" is another of my new paintings that sold last month. Once upon a time I sat up all night in Wicklow town and watched the sun rise over the Irish Sea. You don’t really need any more of a reason than that for why I painted this. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm #scape

#painting "The Gate Theatre, Dublin" I'm never entirely sure where the Rotunda, the Ambassador and the Gate all meet, but I love this view on Cavendish Row. Because of the shapes. Arches, curves, columns, a portico, a fountain, and a big roundy bit, as well as a modern squarish add-on. #SpeirGhorm

Given that just 4.25% of the world's population lives in the United States of America this might be the moment for the 95.75% of the rest of us to leave them to it.
Many overseas markets that the UK could be focusing on for example - you know like the fucking enormous one on our doorstep.

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist.
The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy.
Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

Just a reminder, as you look outside and notice it's already getting dark 😱, that today is the earliest sunset of the year (15:51 in London). From tomorrow the sunsets slowwwwly start getting later again. (Sunrises don't start getting earlier until Dec 30th hence solstice on 21st.) YOU ARE WELCOME.

Acknowledge that emotions like sadness are temporary experiences that naturally pass through our consciousness. While maintaining awareness of these feelings, cultivate an environment that welcomes joy, understanding that both emotions serve important functions in our mental well-being.
