I heard a man say that listening to Jethro Tull made him feel like a goat.

Van der Grijn at the Solomon
Tonight, I attended the opening of Cléa Van der Grijns exhibition 'Orbiva at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2 D02 T802.
Her paintings, mixed media on linen or wood are colorful especially the reds and pinks. My favorite painting was Boschian Lush #2 featuring two hearts or arms.
In 'Boschian Lush #3' which I also loved, I saw the bottom half of a dancer.
Cléa has also created a series of eight digital embroideries including 'Boschian Lush #1', top left.
It was a very enjoyable evening. Well worth the effort of going. Cléa's exhibition will run onto 29th Mar 2025.

Michael Wann at the Solomon
Tonight, I attended the opening of Michael Wann's exhibition 'The Old Grieving Fields' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. I enjoyed looking at his many drawings done in charcoal on paper. He had created most of his artworks in a nice compact size from 23 x 30 cm to 70 x 60 cm.
I will discuss my favourite drawings starting with 'Omens/Crows Arriving'. It appeared quite eye-catching with all the passing birds in flight.
Omens/Crows Arriving by Muchael Wann
His 'Controlled Explosion' was the most dramatic image in his exhibition.
Controlled Explosion by Michael Wann
I liked his attention to detail in his road images.
The Old Work Road by Michael Wann
The High Bog Road by Michael Wann
A joy to view. Both artworks were small and hung in their own alcove with a third artwork that was similar in dimensions and subject matter.
I found this image to be evocative.
Aerial 3, Night Visions by Michael Wann
It reminded me of a dystopian vision of the future with fires burning in the distance under a dark sky.
Then there was the striking composition of helicopters flying in loose formation.
Recon by Michael Wann
I liked the short title. It added a sense of storytelling to this image.
Michael's exhibition will run until 1st Mar 2025. It was well worth seeing it.

Eamon Colman at the Solomon
Tonight, I attended the opening of Eamon Colman's exhibition 'Harmony in Diversity: Nature's Curcular Dance' at Solomon Fine Art, Balfe Street, Dublin 2. The venue was packed and had a lively atmosphere.
Eamin's paintings were colourful and comprised landscapes and interiors. I loved his use of yellow, blue and pink. My favourite painting that I had managed to see was 'Moon Orchard' which features to my eye, a large pink heart. Eamon's exhibition will run until 21st Sept 2024. It was well worth going.

Guggi at the Kerlin
Tonight, I attended the opening of Guggi's exhibition 'Them' at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, South Anne's Street, Dublin D02 A028. The venue was packed full of interesting people. I loved the subtle colours in Guggi's paintings and enjoyed looking at his bowl shapes that he includes in many of his artworks. Guggi's opening went very well. His exhibition will continue until 24th February 2024.
Classy.
Victoria Morton and Merlin James at the Kerlin
Last Thursday, I attended the opening of Double Shuffle at the Kerlin Gallery, Anne's Lane, South Anne Street, Dublin D02 A028. Double Shuufle is an exhibition of work by Victoria Morton and Merlin James. The opening started at 5:00 so it took a while for the venue to fill up with people. The artwork on view consisted of paintings and wall-mounted sculptures in various media. I enjoyed viewing the large painting by Victoria Morten called 'About Listening'. It was full of color and life. Merlin's artwork was more understated. I liked his paintings titled 'Pier' and 'Sky'. Double Shuffle will run until 8th July 2023.
Classy.

Heathers mixed media artwork in the 'Inspired by Tapestry' series can be defined as having a Soul all of its own.
Using a diverse miscellany of elements, Heather expresses her Love for the fabric of Natures bounty with her vivid renditions. Crafted slowly and mindfully, this ongoing series embraces the diversity and spiritual essence she experiences in Nature.
In whatever form they are displayed, Heathers works undeniably evoke a sense of ambience and joy. The vibrant focul point these works provide brings with it a new perception of Nature in its Glory.

✨ Disember Entries, volume 2 ✨
Didn't have time to make any holiday-themed artworks this year, so I'm sharing more of these instead! xD
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! And if you don't celebrate, I still hope you'll have a chill and wonderful time. Sending you all my best wishes and hugs! 🫶💖
✨ Disember entries ✨
For those who don't follow me on Instagram, I've joined the Disember challenge being hosted by some real talented artists there, and decided to do my entries in traditional media, because I haven't touched traditional in years (aside for pencil sketches) and felt like I needed to dust off those skills xD
(You can check out descriptions to see technique used for each.
I'm posting all my entries on my Insta stories (and story highlight in my profile), and these have been some of my favorite pieces made for the challenge so far! I thought they deserved their own post. If I have more entries that I end up liking moving forward, I might post them as well. ^^
