a week in print

Well, here I am in print now and getting used to the idea and more importantly after a slow and indeed rather unnerving start, things have got steadily better :

 
Old studio; new spot; new wall

 
First prints - rather abstract monoprints from a drawing of an imaginary city,  but I am feeling my way steadily back into it.
 
Here are some ideas for more urban print:
 
 

 
 
Interesting evening yesterday - Thursday;
stayed late and then after something to eat went to three openings:
 
Ormston House - Paraic Leahy - Behold the Scaffolding on which Beauty is Built
 
Raggle Taggle - Carl Doran  - Cats Tales
 
Limerick Printmakers - Fiona Quill
 
No pictures yet but I will be revisiting all when shows are quieter; there was a steady flow of enthusiastic print 1st years viewing and socialising throughout all three venues: allcomers were mightily impressed by all the art on view but it is fair to say that Fiona's offering was extremely powerful and a certain colleague was heard to say that she would like to buy them all and another proclaimed that this was what she saw herself making. I am looking forward to going back for another look.
 
Paraic Leahy's paintings were extraordinary as were Carl Doran's collages
More on these later.
 
Great to meet the merry band from Full Up again and hopes of more of the same.
 
Nearly there:
 
Public Print
