Just a painting. Because it's all I do. I try to keep records so I don't throw the same ones at you too often. Trickier the last few years with the fragmentation of social media, but it's been a year since I've thrown 2016's "Ballyshannon II" at you, so here it is again - just to look at.

Landscape format. View of terrace of 3-storey buildings. Pubs and shops at street level, with near building on left angled down to small further away to right. In shade on brilliantly sunny day, left to right the buildings are orange, pink, blue pale pink, red. Surface of path and road is both blue and red in shade, and yellow and orange in sunlight. Beyond end of terrace is end of another street with dark brown building with tall clock tower. Slivers of other buildings are on right edge in sun, and left edge at back. Sky is blue with white fluffy clouds. Signed bottom left: Liam Daly

"Connemara Cottage III", is a painting I did more because of the rocks than the cottage. I mean, I wouldn't mind living in a gaff that looks down on a bog whilst having a backdrop of a curtain of rocks - so I painted it. And from today it's available as a print: www.redbubble.com/i/art-print/...

This cottage was somewhere between Renvyle and Kylemore. When I saw the ridge behind it littered with five million rocks – I saw music. As they cascaded down to another hill where the cottage sits, as...

About to get an hour. Maybe even two. So it's sketchbook time.

I'm there for paintings and some friends, but yesterday I clicked like on a poem I read on fb and then the rest of the day the algorithm kept throwing poems at me. I've had worse days.
