The latest paintings that I've finished were exhibited at the Cork International Airport Hotel recently and are now available for purchase online.To date, 6 have sold, and another was auctioned for charity.

I'm currently auctioning for charity one of my paintings, Rosmuc, An Aill Bhuí, that was exhibited at the 2009 Irish Blog Awards in the Cork International Airport Hotel. The auction was started at 99 cents, but after 10 bids it's up to 117.50 euros which is still fairly cheap for a painting 24 inches long by 8. The end date and time is: March 09, 2009, 16:23:34 GMT. Details on Bicyclistic.com

My big sale of Irish paintings - the one with free shipping worldwide and as much as 90% off some prices - will end on December 24.Because it's Christmas Eve and everybody has better things to do I'll end it at 6pm Irish time (noon, Kansas City time). 33 pieces have sold but there's still a fair few left (especially among the abstracts) before I end the free shipping and put the prices back up.

Updated: Gearing up for a big sale of paintings starting Black Friday, November 28 Cyber Monday, December 1, 2008.Free shipping worldwide is being offered, and some paintings are priced at as much as 90% less than their gallery prices.The paintings will be posted on Irish KC.The sale will probably run for about 2 weeks, maybe longer. Although there are many new pieces in this sale I'm hoping that

A large sale of paintings is planned for the week beginning November 24th, 2008. It probably won't be ready to go on the Monday, but I don't imagine I'll let it slip too much given that, for those who might want a painting by Christmas, the last posting date of parcels by regular post from Ireland to the US/Australia/New Zealand is December 8th.It's too early to say what those paintings will be -

I'm currently setting up a new studio in Dublin for painting. Most unfinished paintings, as well as frames, canvases, paints and everything else that makes up my workspace are now in place there. Just as soon as the power and plumbing is finished I'll be producing new paintings.The studio will be set up so I can receive visitors who wish to browse paintings in the flesh.News of paintings will

In September 2008 I moved from Dublin to a cottage in rural Ireland. The plan was to begin a new life of painting. Here are the chronicles of my life in an Irish cottage.There's also a few photos:   • Photos of the Cottage   • Photos of the Scenery by the Cottage   • Photos not all Mountains and Islands

New site called American Hell has launched. Daily posting of a drawing - mostly figurative - juxtaposed with scribbled words. Single panel cartoons of a sort, focused on love, technology, animals, consumer affairs, and stuff I can't think how to label.

If anybody is looking for the large Blue Sky image, note that I intermittently swap it out because of bandwidth abuses. It has been restored for now, and you'll find it in this original Blue Sky post Just please, if you are intending to use it, take it, and put it wherever you put your images; don't hotlink to it on my site or when I swap it out you'll end up with a background that is not a nice

Talking Squares will be returning, but it will be with a new engine behind it, and it will be wearing all nice new clothes. And then we can go motoring again.

To remove the last piece of dependency on third party server support, Talking Squares will continue to NOT be updated for another week or so, as upgrades are implemented.Sorry about this, but we'll get along better in the long run.

Things are rather hectic on the web front, but there's nothing like a deadline to move things along, so, the Free Paintings thing will happen in June.Meanwhile, if you need to call me at all, well give it a go and see what happens. Things are changing, though should you not be nice I will likely hang up. Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend - ours was truly fabulous (until the phone rang).

So what happened to free paintings? They're coming. Honest. What I'm doing is organizing a major sale of my paintings with in the region of 80% off, to coincide with (or immediately follow) the free thing, while not diluting the free thing in any way.So I have to come up with the list of x paintings that are free, and y paintings that are on sale (which just might be everything else), and devise

Seems like I keep falling asleep mid-post, and my control panel is a graveyard of half-drafted entries. I must do better. Still, that said it was nice of you to drop by today - made this whole web conversation thing seem more like a conversation.I need to do a big photo session so I can share with you some current projects.

Talking of squares, it should be obvious I like tiles. Too much. I can look at mosaics all day, which come to think of it isn't very long, so I can actually look at them for longer. But I can also look at just tiles for hours. Plain tiles. Little one square inch green tiles covering a bathroom, or larger black ones surrounding a bath, or glazed white ones on a porch pillar, etc.My business

Once I wrapped paintings up for transport from Britain to Ireland. The wrapping I used was industrial cling film, and it was coloured blue. I liked it so much I didn't unwrap the paintings for years - until I had to sell one. All through those years I decided that one day I would paint pictures with the intention of then heavily wrapping them in a coloured cling-film (saran wrap). As in, to be

I really wanted to share how the trees are with you but when the weather finally co-operated the blossoms were all gone. Just a mass of leaf-green now. Earlier I was going to show you the explosion of white above the skirt of green, but not being able to share I've decided to wait until next year before I share all the photographs on it. I do hope that it doesn't end up being like somebody's

In 2001 Kansas City was one of the earlier cities to host Cow Parade, and I was selected to paint a cow. Back then, even though they started in Switzerland, it never occurred to me that the project would also end up in London and in Dublin. So I went for Celtic Kitsch and produced The Cow of KellsBut I had actually submitted two designs in my application, and the other one was my favoured one,

There is a recent trend of making web pages wider to suit people with screen resolutions of 1024 x 768 and up, rather than for 800 x 600 and up which was the usability norm for quite some time.Being a trend-follower rather than a setter, I've been working on designs to take account of this. I'm sorry if you're bored but this is exciting, as the extra 224 pixels creates no end of possibilities,

I missed my trees for a few days. Well, it was raining. I might like the rain but nobody will go with me. The Trees I drew, back when they looked like this.Yesterday it was normal sunny, blue sky, gentle breeze, yeah, yeah, but when I got to see my clump of trees, well, they've blossomed. I've been photographing them every time, and there has been little change, and yesterday I forget my camera

Unusually rainy for an extended period here in KC these last few days. Wonderfully grey. Walking today as the sky broke up, behind the large puffy white and grey clouds was revealed a wispy rainbow cloud. I hadn't seen one before.Thing is, again, how do you paint that? Wouldn't it just look silly because the human eye is not used to seeing them? I'll give it a miss. Hope you're keeping well.
