Margaret Corcoran at the Kevin Kavanagh

I attended the opening of Margaret Corcoran's exhibition 'Goddesses and Icons' at the Kevin kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The Venue was packed and the atmosphere was relaxed. There was lots of lovely portraits mainly painted in watercolors. My favorite paintings were 'Blossoming', 'Artemis' and 'Athena'. 'Blossoming' featured a statue standing in a cornucopia of blossoms done in oil on linen. 'Artemus' and 'Athena' were portraits created with water-based oil on canvas. Margaret's exhibition will run until the 20th May 2023.

Classy.

Mark Francis at the Kerlin

This evening, I attended the opening of Mark Francis' exhibition 'Accustic Oceans' at the Ketlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, South Anne Street, Dublin 2. The venue was packed with a lively atmosphere. There was plenty of chat.

The colours in Mark's paintings shimmered against each other. These compositions were created with vertical narrow stripes in pale and dark colours. I liked his red and black paintings such as 'Subtonic' and 'Dubmagnet'. They appeared, to my eye, extra rich and warm.

Mark's exhibition will run until 24th Aug 2024. It was well worth going.

Mc Kendry at Gorry Gallery

I attended the packed opening of Kenny Mc Kendry' exhibition 'Rathlin, Portrait of an Island and Other Works' at the Gorry Gallery, 20 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2. Kenny's paintings had a lovely sense of light in them. Many if them seemed to glow especially the seascapes. His portraits had plenty of personality. The faces well observed. His exhibition will run until 11th Apr 2025.

Paul Colreavy at Zozimus

Last night, I attended the opening of Paul Colreavy’s exhibition ‘On Land And Water’ at Gallery Zozimus. His many paintings including landscapes and seascapes were atmospheric. I particularly liked his series of ‘Coastal Lowland’ and ‘Winter Shoreline’ paintings for their simplicity. The opening was relaxed and there were plenty of bits to go with the wine.  Paul’s exhibition will run until 18th May 2019 at 56 Francis St, Dub 8.

Just practising again.   I hope to get better at Tumblr.    Sandra.

My first blog on Tumblr

Finally got around to practice blogging on Tumblr before going to my computer course tonight. I meant to do this before hand but time just flies.     Classy for the moment.

Ranellagh Arts Centre

Last Wednesday, I popped into Ranelagh Arts Centre to see Anna Hryniewicz’s colourful paintings. I remember most Anna’s combination of bright yellow and a deep fluorescent pink in many of her paintings. Anna’s preoccupations with Astronomy and children’s daydreaming stayed with me. At least, that was how I interpreted the titles which she gave to her paintings. Going to her exhibition was worth the walk. Classy.
