The Doorway Gallery is doing well for me and keeping me very busy. The 2 above, Donegal 1 & 2, are to be framed together for a customer as a large diptych
These 2 x 60cm panels, ‘mountains and bogroads’ went to Dublin by courier last week
The 4 panels above, ‘Skylight 1& 2’, each 90cm sq and ‘October 1& 2’ each 80cm sq went down by courier yesterday
The group show, ‘Hidden’, which I have 2 pieces in, runs till 29th October, followed by Christsy Keeney’s solo show till mid November. Then there’s the wonderful Christmas exhibition.
Even during solo shows, my work and other gallery artists work is available in the downstairs gallery. Open Monday to Saturday 10- 6
New painting on 2 panels each 80cm Sq
My starting point was 2 small works on paper currently available at the Doorway Gallery Dublin
Oops that one is sideways, never mind, you get the idea!

Hanging my show at An Grianan Theatre, Letterkenny, County Donegal tomorrow.
55 paintings on 2 floors of a lovely popular Theatre with a great autumn programme of events.
Show opens with a reception at 7pm Wednesday 23rd September
This is what my house looks like now
My exhibition at An Grianan Theatre, in Letterkenny, county Donegal is next week and I’m making the final selections for the 50 paintings that will be included
The show is in 4 sections: Donegal, Ceide Fields (Mayo), Venice and Nepal, reflecting on the wonderful adventures I have had in the last 2 years
Here are a few paintings from each section to give you a flavour:
Donegal
Mayo (stones of the Ceide Fields)
Venice
Nepal
the first 5 stages of work on 3 canvases in my studio this morning
the initial trigger was twofold: Diebenkorn’s notes to himself about how to go about making a painting
https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/diebenkorn-ten-rules
and there was a powercut
so I went with ‘tolerate chaos’ and also forced myself to not care about the first appearances of ‘prettiness’ and I didn’t ‘search for a subject’
