"Inishmore Horse". A special #painting for me. As an unpaid carer I don't earn much but wanted to give back. So with permission I used a friend's photo as reference, and donated half of the proceeds to the charity of their choice - the Down Syndrome Centre in Dublin's northside. #ArtYear #SpeirGorm

Irish speakers - is there an autumn equivalent to the Irish word - somhairle - which means summer warrior, please? My birthday is this month and I’d love to eventually get a tattoo of a word to do with September/autumn! 🍁 🍂 #Gaeilge #Irish #teanga #language #foclóir

I'm taking on The 24-Hour Challenge for Samaritans, listening to Taylor Swift for 24 hours straight. Samaritans do incredibly important work, helping those in distress or in a low place.

Please donate if you can.

Used to have a page on instagram called Ireland of Old where I asked people to send in old pictures. Would love to start it up again.

Note new date Tuesday May 20th

So delighted to see all the buzz around Limerick for Riverfest.

Limerick had so much to offer and can only imagine organisation, planning and preparation that goes into making the festival a success.

I wonder is there scope for a festival in the autumn/winter season? #Luimni #Riverfest

Can anyone tell me of more sustainable ways of getting rid of old clothes in Ireland, please?

I have two 10kg envelopes full for @oxfamireland.bsky.social and on Depop.

Also which is better Depop/Vinted?

(Sorry for briefly spamming my own prints on here, but unfortunately it's still necessary to make some sort of tenuous living from drawing due to a significant delay in successfully wooing a wealthy bachelor farmer and being whisked off in his John Deere to a life of diamond-encrusted wellies)
