Last night, I attended the opening of Jim Turner’s ‘Introspective Retrospective’ at Gallery Zozimus. The place was packed with people who knew Jim. As few sales were made. I particularly loved Jim’s vessels with their subtle use of colour and simplicity of form. Jim’s wonderful exhibition will continue until 30th Sept 2018 at Gallery Zozimus, 56 Frances Street, Dublin 8. Classy.
Just practising with Tumblr. I've uploaded a my second image so far. Classy Harmony Creation.
I also had a quick look at the statue of Luke Kelly by John Coll erected on South King Street. Lovely pose and detail.
Classy.

I went to the opening of Roisin O’Farrell’s exhibition ‘Silver \ Paper \ Gold’ at the Doorway Gallery, last night. It was packed. Roisin’s paintings looked fresh and full of life as if she had plenty of inspiration in painting them. I particularly loved her paintings of pieces of cutlery lying side by side on polished surfaces surrounded by wallpaper. It’s a simple idea which I had not seen before. The Doorway Gallery is at 24 South Fredrick Street, Dublin 2. Classy.

Maggie's paintings were painted in beautiful purples, pinks and yellows. They all looked summery and cheerful. Their subject matter were mainly flowers and landscapes painted in a semi abstract style. Maggie's exhibition will continue until the 20th July 2024. It is well worth seeing.

Last night, I attended the opening of Paul Abell’s art exhibition at Rathmines Library. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. Paul had already begun to sell his many paintings featuring buildings, boating scenes and landscapes. I particularly loved Paul’s paintings of one or two boats moored on a hazy shoreline which are the biggest sellers. Paul’s exhibition will continue for just today and tomorrow. He hopes to raise €8,000 the Capuchin Day Centre for the Homeless and Mellon Educate, a charity that builds schools in South Africa.
Classy.

I attended the opening of John Short's exhibition 'Horizons' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 tonight. The venue was packed.
I enjoyed viewing John's loose and spontaneous paintwork. He painted his paintings with watercolours and ink while including collage in some of them. My favourite paintings were wide and panoramic.
He had included four large ceramic pieces in his exhition. It was nice to see that he was trying a new medium to work in.

My favourite artworks in John's exhibition. His exhibition will run until Sat 24th May 2025.
I also attended Neal Greig's opening at Gormleys, 27 Fredrick Street South, Dublin 2 D02 EP03 which was just as enjoyable. His exhibition of rugged and wild seascapes were full of energy and a pleasure to view. However, I loved his three paintings 'June River Butonne', 'Dream Lake' and 'Butonne River'. They were peaceful and, to my eye, evoked scenes of the Mangrove Swamps in and around Florida. Neal's show will run Until 29th Oct 2024.
