A #painting from a few years ago. "Listowel" is a County Kerry town I've done a few paintings of, but this particular painting came out of a time I was cycling in north Kerry and having the time of my life. Mind you in fairness whenever I'm in north Kerry I have the time of my life. #art #SpeirGhorm

Yesterday was Holodomor Memorial Day. And I wanted to post something about it, but couldn't force myself. From all the events throughout the history when Russia tried to wipe out the whole Ukrainian nation, Holodomor remains for me as one of the most horrific, cruel and inhumane.

Yes I definitely heard of this type of scam. The idea here is the amount is so low so you might not notice it going through your account, and when the item arrives, you won’t go to the hassle of sending it back for a refund.

Hey. Okay. Looking for some help from the #FineArt crowd.
