Today's theme? Cats. A doodle and an observed sketch, from late-night drawing sessions. Can you tell which is which? #cats #pencilsketch #art #Irishartist #witchy #irishwomanartist #orlaclancycontemporaryart

One from foreign parts: We went to Mirror Maze in Petrin Park, Prague, and enjoyed the play of light in there. Amazing place. #art #mirrors #diorama #light #reflections #irishart #orlaclancycontemporaryart #loveprague #buyirishart #oilpainting #loveart #inspiredbyphotography #inspiredbyprague

However we feel, the sea can soothe. Close your eyes, feel the breeze, smell the surf, dream with the waves ... you're right here. This is Ballyheigue. #art  #buyirishartprints #wildatlanticway #kerryisthekingdom #seascope #orlaclancycontemporaryart

Thrilled to be able to share that this little painting has found a new home, it's going to USA. Not to worry, there will be prints available. Want to see what other lovely Irish coastline scenes I've made? Check out www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com. #art #Irishart #buydirectfromtheartist #kerry

Three more from the Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project. The theme was My Street so I basically showed what it's like where I live in #countylimerick #Ireland. If you like sketches, you might like to #subscribe to my website: www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com

I've made a lot of #nude #drawings as part of my study of anatomy, but not many #paintings - this is one. If you like #figurestudies generally, check out my page on Saatchi Gallery Online: https://www.saatchiart.com/en-ie/orlaclancypatijn

The islet that's in the middle of Banna Strand where the Lough Akeragh outlet is located. The tide was just in, and the islet cut off for several hours. Sold through Draíocht Gallery in Adare, by the late Agnes, a legend in her own lifetime. #art #wildatlanticway #orlaclancycontemporaryart
