This is just beautiful!

Landscape format in loose acrylics on mixed media paper. Estuary scene with very pale blue water in horizontal band across the bottom and half a dozen small boats scattered - all facing right, the four larger ones all with hulls of different blues and white wheelhouses. Two smaller rowing boats are barely more than a white and red sliver further away in the centre closer to shore. Along the shore are a couple of terrace rows of pastel coloured 2-story houses with blue slate roofs. A much larger 3-storey pale yellow house stands at the shore by the left edge. It has dormer windows. Behind the houses is a steep hill of various greens of bushes, lawns and trees, with another horizontal terrace of pastel 2-story houses about halfway up while behind it a road goes from the right edge up diagonally left into the blue-green mass of trees at the top where three stand-alone houses peep out in gaps. They are red with blue roof, pale blue with darker blue roof, and pale yellow with a double gable front and purple roof. The sky is a narrow band of painterly yellow above the uneven tree line at the very top of the painting. Signed bottom right, Liam Daly

A #painting from southwest Ireland. "Glenbrook 1" came out of a time I cycled from Cobh, where I had been painting en plein air, back to where I could get the ferry across Cork harbour while enjoying views like these, and then I cycled on to friends beyond. #art #SpeirGhorm #BlueSkyMonday #ArtYear

Built in the 15thC Doe Castle Creeslough Co. Donegal historical stronghold of Clan McSweeney. A grey stone tower house surrounded by battlements with the blue waters of Sheephaven bay in the background. The sky is mostly blue with some white cloud. The castle is approached by a gravelled path with black wrought iron gates.

Portnablagh cove County Donegal on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The beach in the foreground is white sand and the sea is just seen sparkling in the spring sunshine

A view of the remains of the Owencarrow viaduct standing in memory of a terrible tragedy 100 years ago when the Kilmacrennan to Creeslough train was blown off the viaduct at Barnes gap in a strong gale resulting in the death of 4 passengers and injury to many others. The Owencarrow river is in the foreground surrounded by green fields

Donegal looking gorgeous in the Spring sunshine ❤️

The skies are alive with the sights and sounds of a majestic thunderstorm ✨️

Landscape format in painterly acrylics on canvas. Under a yellow sky with some orange and green smoky highlights, is the grey stone wall around the compound on the rock with the collapsed square Tower House closest to view high on the right and the Round Tower further to its left almost along the vertical centre of the painting. Foreground is steep grassy slope with bold almost black shadows in generally short horizontal daublings from which protrude a group of large grey rocks with white and orange and sky blue lichen spots and deep black fissures. The surrounding stone wall above comes from the right edge about two thirds of the way up the painting and curves and drops sharply down to the left meeting the left edge of the painting about one third of the way up - it has a pale capstone.

Time for a #painting from the south of Ireland. "Rock of Cashel IV" came out of a visit to the Tipperary landmark where I walked up the steep side, lay down on the grass and sketched the iconic site. A few years later I then used that sketch to do this painting. #art #SpeirGhorm #Scape #ArtYear

Portrait format in acrylics on canvas. The bottom half is the stones and the top half is the farmland on a hill in the distance with a patchwork of green fields separated by hedgerows. The stones are all around a rectangular trough rendered so dark it's basically black, with stone slabs lining its sides, and all the other stones sort of radiating out from it. Many of the stones have a very pale blue, pink, or ochre top in the sun with dark grey on other parts and a very dark shadow side. Some of the pale grass around it is worn away to dirt, presumably from visitors walking on it. A short distance past it is a dark green hedge running horizontally across the painting, and it is beyond that we see the hill of farmland. In the top left there is a dip in the hill's horizon to give us a glimpse of a sliver of the ocean. The sky is a flat rich blue. Signed bottom right in dark red, Liam Daly

Have a West Cork #painting. "Drombeg Fulacht Fiadh" was painted because I like things that are beside things. Also, much as I like cooking I like stones even more, and when arranged into things well, I'm beside myself. This is beside one of Ireland's best example of a stone circle. #art #SpeirGhorm

Now that’s something I’d like to see! Loved the story!

Square format in acrylic on canvas. Against a background of rippling water are two adult mute swans and six cygnets. Angle of view is diagonally down on the water with no sky or land in the background, just water. The swans are all in a narrow group three-quarters of the way up the painting stretched out from both sides facing into the centre of the space between them. Four cygnets and one adult have their heads underwater, though you can see all of the adult's neck above water. The ripples of multiple shades of blues are in crisscrossing concentric circles from each of the birds expanding ultimately into one large series of concentric circles of soft painterly daubs, with the light blues suggesting reflections of sky, and the very dark blues suggesting reflections of foliage. Signed bottom right in red, Liam Daly

Have a goo at a #painting "Swan Family". Once upon a time I often used to walk out of my old studio down through the woods to the river, and watch a family of swans. This painting came after watching another swan family for hours one day when cycling in the west of Ireland. #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

Landscape format in loose painterly garish colours on canvas. View down a town centre street of 2 and 3-storey buildings with shop fronts. The road angles from left to right. Street surface is pinks and purples. Footpath on far (left) side is orange, and roofs are slate of dark blues. Buildings on far side are blotches of pinks and orange with pale blue highlights and dark details for windows and shopfronts. The near right side has a red car and 2 blue cars parked in foreground, a footpath of pink and red, and dark outlines holding orange, green and blue thin slices of shopfronts and windows before the yellow gable of a mid-ground building. At far end of street is the front of a large 2-story building with a high blue roof holding two chimneys. Behind are hills of purple and green. The sky is an orangey-yellow. Signed top left, Liam Daly.

Have a #painting from County Kerry because for some reason I'm thinking good thoughts of Kerry. "Tralee, Rock Street" was painted because I found myself cycling up and down it, drinking tea on it, and getting punctures on it as well as drinking tea while repairing punctures. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

I saw no sign of any protest but I did see a solitary blue tractor to the delight of my 2 year old grandson

I thought traffic was a lot lighter today. I was shopping at Boucher Crescent this morning and I just drove my daughter home to Ormeau from Carryduff and traffic was sparse

🕯️🎶🕊️

I’d say most of his followers are similar tbh

Love these paintings! Reminds me of holidays

I did wonder when I saw “numb”

Square format in acrylic on canvas. Coastal scene. Horizon under a pale blue sky is three-quarters the way up the painting. On it coming in from the right sits a very dark blue headland. In front of it is a couple of much smaller paler blue-green hills, while behind it in the distance to the left out to sea is a pale blue island or hill. A very thin sliver of almost white water runs across most of the picture separated by another thin sliver that is land rendered in dark blue-green attached to a little hill on the right edge and disappearing behind a large blue and green rounded headland in the mid-ground on the left edge. The rest of the painting is water, in graphic but painterly blotches of very pale blue with a wide vertical patch of pale yellow like a reflection from the sky. On the right side a small headland peeps in and has a narrow causeway stretching across to the rounded blue-green headland. Along the bottom in the foreground it is largely pink on the left with a yellow section by the water's edge and on the right it is red with a couple of dark horizontal shapes that perhaps could be a boat or two. Signed bottom left in dark blue on the pink, Liam Daly

Have a #painting while the world burns. "Western Waters" came out of loving aspects of Ireland that bear no relation to fascism, such as the shapes found on our coast as water slides in and around landmasses that I like best when we share them. #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear #Scape

Numb & spicy?

I’d go!

Thinks it’s a US concept plus they’re all over Europe. Probably no need for you to know about it tbqh 😛
Target market is ppl with more money than sense

A section of a very very long queue for Sephora a makeup store in Victoria Square shopping centre Belfast. I wondered were they giving stuff away but no it’s just that popular

Was in town today..
people will queue for anything! This is Sephora a makeup store in Victoria Square. The queue stretched right around the corner. I wondered were they giving stuff away but no.

More money than sense imo! There’s wiser eating grass

Sounds like they’ve gone to a lot of trouble over this

So it’s effectively a gagging order! Sounds like they’ve something to hide..like poor employment practice among others. Stuff that and get your solicitor to reply in kind!

Jarvis should stick to what he does best 😬..
definitely not that

Landscape format in acrylics on mat board. Under a painterly yellow sky the lilac-blue grey gothic St Colman's Cathedral with its tall steeple and green copper roof sits on the top of hill with directly underneath it a row of tall dark blue supporting arches under the lilac stone boundary wall and walkway which drops down to a jumble of slate roofs and the rest of the town that covers the hill. The houses are all four-story colourful buildings with shop fronts at ground level. Buildings mostly have contrasting coloured trim around windows and other details, like white on blue, red on yellow, and green on red. Roofs are slate, rendered in blues and purples with many buildings have two or three dormer windows. The street surface at the bottom is a pink-purple and several small black and turquoise trees are dotted along. Signed top left in red, Liam Daly

Have a #painting from the southwest of Ireland. "Cobh IV" was not the first time I painted the Cork harbour town, and if I ever finish the paintings currently in progress then it won't be the last either. Shapes. I like them. #art #SpeirGhorm

Might have to give it a go thanks 🙏
