I want to spend a few minutes practising some blogging. Over the coming weeks, I hope to gain in confidence. I need to become more familiar with using Tumblr.
Last night, I attended the opening of an art exhibition by the painter Donald Teskey and really enjoyed it. I loved his change of subject matter from sea and landscapes to riverside scenes. It was worth the effort going.
Donald Teskey’s exhibition will continue until 15th Mar 2018 at the Oliver Sears Gallery, 29 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2.

Last night, I attended the opening of Sinead Ni Mhaonaigh’s latest exhibition at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery called ‘Achar’. Loved the combination of colours especially where they appeared in dapple patterns. Sinead’s exhibition will run until 26th May 2018. Classy.

Yesterday, I visited the RHA, 15 Ely Place, Dublin 2 to see the 188th RHA Annual Exhibition on its last day. It was my second time attending this show and was worth the effort. I enjoyed viewing work by familiar artists such as Ken Drew, Richard Gorman, Eithne Jordan, Alice Maher, Mick O’Dea, John Shinners and Donald Teskey along with some new names. Classy.

I also went to the opening of Anders' exhibition 'The Art of Subtle Collection' at Reds Gallery, 21 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 D02 TK33. The venue was busy. Plenty of people came. Anders' digital artworks were colourful and detailed. My two favourite artworks were abstract compositions of rectangles and stripes executed in warm colours. Anders' exhibition will run until Wed 14th May 2025. Reds Gallery is located up a few flights of stairs but is worth the climb.

I attended the opening of the latest art exhibition at Hendrons, 40 Dominic St. Upr, Dub 7 last night. The work on show consisting mainly of photography was atmospheric and evocative. I liked each person’s work for different reasons. These was one animated video played in another room. However, I did not watch the whole video because it was a cold night and I needed to keep moving. The crowd I met at Hendrons were lovely: all warm and friendly. Sandra.

Last night, I also attended the opening of Lucy Doyle’s exhibition ‘Blue Moon’ at the Doorway Gallery. As usual, Lucy’s numerous paintings encompassing still lifes, interior scenes and portraits were full of vivid and cheerful colours. Her opening at 24 Sth Fredrick St, Dub 2 was very well attended.
