'Boys Catching Crabs in Connemara' (1949) by Irish artist Gerard Dillon was recently up for sale. It always puts me in mind of Duncan Grant’s Bathing.

The Cybertruck is getting canned. Post a vehicle women actually like.
My buckskin connemara mare (buckskin is sandy-gold with a black mane and tail, sometimes, erroneously called 'dun' - though dun is genetically different) canters down a grassy slope with ancient oaks behind.

Great news this evening about not one but two sites I've worked on/in (to varying degrees) in Ireland - both the Grampian-Taconic Orogeny Transect in Connemara and South Mayo and the Slieve Gullion Volcanic Complex have been designated IUGS Geoheritage Sites. iugs-geoheritage.org/designations...

🇮🇪 Galway won me over with its music, people & wild Atlantic scenery. From Salthill & the Spanish Arch to Connemara & the ancient forts of the Aran Islands, it's a place I keep returning to. The islands inspire the book #2.

Did a one day advanced driving course for work out in the wilds of Connemara and the most memorable thing I learnt was; Sheep by the road with its head down? Locked in grazing, probs going nowhere. Sheep head up? Could do anything.

You don't learn that in the city.

A west of Ireland #painting "Renvyle Rocks" came from a day cycling in north Connemara, where I kept returning to where a road ran into the ocean. This is looking across to Mweelrea and Mayo and the part of the Atlantic in between where Killary flows into. I do like a good rock. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear
Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. In the foreground a large dark knobbly rectangular mass of rock fills the right half of the painting, purple and dark blue, with black for shadows and crevices. It has a tail of loose rocks at its bottom on the left running across a bay that is turquoise with soft narrow bands of lilac in the distance. On the horizon across the water is a triple-peaked mountain, mid-blue at base by water's edge rising to light purple at peaks, the centre the tallest. Behind on right by edge of painting is distant pale blue mountains. Sky is cloudy white with very faint traces of pink and aqua blue. On the far side of the bay before the mountains is a sliver of a headland coming out from the right, rendered in a dull teal and leading to three small flat islands of purple close to the centre. Water on the near side of rocks in the foreground is turquoise with black shadows and dark blue reflection strokes and some very pale almost white highlighting strokes.
