Pencil drawing depicting the Sunday afternoon traditional irish music session at the former Grafton Pub and Grill in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood. The POV is from one of the musicians, focused on the closeness of three knees of the other musicians in the circle, showing the wooden floor, and several musicians' feet, legs, arms, hands and instruments, including two fiddles, two guitars, a banjo and a flute.

Black and white pencil drawing in a realistic style. Several instruments sit quietly on a padded leather corner bench during a break in the traditional Irish music session at the Galway Arms pub in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In the foreground on the left is a Banjo owned by Pat Quinn. Next is a fiddle belonging to former Gaelic Storm fiddler Katie Grennan. A guitar and concertina belonging to John Williams, of Solas, sit in the anchor spot in the corner. Next to that is a bodhrán drum. Not present in the original source photo, this drum is loosely patterned after the one belonging to Paddy Homan who frequently plays at this spot as well. In the background above the bench is a brick wall, while a pint of Guinness is seen in the foreground.

Two St. Patrick’s Day greeting cards displayed on a wooden surface. One card shows a cozy Irish cottage with ivy, a basket, and gold coins, with the text “Happy St. Patrick’s Day.” The other features a green shamrock pattern with the message “Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the Murphys.” Soft lights glow in the background, creating a warm, festive atmosphere.
