A few yards away another gathering of pale pink covering the ground erupted into flight.</div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">Size; 50 x 40 cm</div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">Contact <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/tuckmillgallery" target="_blank">Tuckmill Gallery</a>, Naas </div></div><p><br /></p>sheenameagher.com@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16484851206045784264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087883135564225812.post-18457094138020401322020-11-24T17:32:00.000+00:002020-11-24T17:32:08.351+00:00DUBLIN ART BOOK FAIR 2020<p>This wonderful exhibition os now online and open To see all the books visit the Temple Bar Gallery website and select 'Shop'. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbS8cyWhO7SoU_1vdDs3EcRuIi7SpiM1_ypKcm1Yul-fINkAHywiBhiuNaOB8ncOzuxUZt348TltRfUS4FogsJC-ZQutvv3nbk2UsCzFvFQgKLGZdmIzNDF9_VUaMawLJ3RD74xPqVybI/s2048/Front+Cover+for+Temple+Bar.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1582" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbS8cyWhO7SoU_1vdDs3EcRuIi7SpiM1_ypKcm1Yul-fINkAHywiBhiuNaOB8ncOzuxUZt348TltRfUS4FogsJC-ZQutvv3nbk2UsCzFvFQgKLGZdmIzNDF9_VUaMawLJ3RD74xPqVybI/s320/Front+Cover+for+Temple+Bar.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>A direct <a href="https://shop.templebargallery.com/collections/artist-books/products/sheena-meagher-because-they-make-all-the-difference" target="_blank">Link to Because the Small Things Matter</a> (ahem!) </p>sheenameagher.com@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16484851206045784264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087883135564225812.post-14843396512826081362020-11-24T14:57:00.006+00:002020-11-24T14:57:58.994+00:00Tuckmill Annual Fine Art Exhibition; Church of Our Lady and St. David and Mc Auley Place<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6BL6150Yr11OGQ4oHvSXceSqLPlMQXx7PhVtb47OhlHRT3f_H48cJqNheFSZv8v9fbDDXcSfmI1NNtmjV1DXxHB8_3w8KgPWoqAOZfCGWdoM2jL3bC2vsUqVRbd9agjFDRt5HZuG_XeI/s1134/20201124_124548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="850" height="543" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6BL6150Yr11OGQ4oHvSXceSqLPlMQXx7PhVtb47OhlHRT3f_H48cJqNheFSZv8v9fbDDXcSfmI1NNtmjV1DXxHB8_3w8KgPWoqAOZfCGWdoM2jL3bC2vsUqVRbd9agjFDRt5HZuG_XeI/w407-h543/20201124_124548.jpg" width="407" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"> The fabulous Tuckmill Gallery in Naas</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmDg0IQCFXflCBafI2E3eKXlYi3AYjt9Y_M62-otSAPD-KGCP__8uGB5tNnweVvrJ2KeVu0aqunNiVkrwzpcv6eBjv1F0Mn6jqNDNnq0vHS1_QFYx4xTNZwINqNvO8oJCnSMlbGZHxjLQ/s1134/20201124_124537.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="850" height="641" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmDg0IQCFXflCBafI2E3eKXlYi3AYjt9Y_M62-otSAPD-KGCP__8uGB5tNnweVvrJ2KeVu0aqunNiVkrwzpcv6eBjv1F0Mn6jqNDNnq0vHS1_QFYx4xTNZwINqNvO8oJCnSMlbGZHxjLQ/w481-h641/20201124_124537.jpg" width="481" /></a> </div></div><p></p><p>Delighted to have my painting of Church of Our Lady and St. David and Mc Auley Place in the shop window.</p>sheenameagher.com@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16484851206045784264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087883135564225812.post-31777391726503818192020-11-22T23:44:00.002+00:002020-11-22T23:46:54.984+00:00The Tuckmill Annual Art Exhibition 2020<p><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Tuckmill Annual Art Exhibition IS NOW LIVE! </span><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Due Covid19 it being held on Instagram and Facebook, with collection in store.

Clare on the 26th September 2020 where I witnessed an amazing sunset. The whole scene- sky, sea, land and beach turned rose gold – a wonderful end to a magnificent day, a fabulous start to a magical evening. Shadows cast by surfers carrying boards became Merpeople inhabiting the wet sands. Two girls ran at full tilt into the sea and sat enjoying their 99’s ice cream cones, laughing after a day in the surf. The resulting three paintings are part of this very worthwhile fundraiser, where there are beautiful artworks starting from as little as €10 and there are some really beautiful works available for this excellent cause.

Some time into painting I was happy with the stairs, the bookshelves and gleaming tomes. I raised my paintbrush to bring in the figure of a Librarian on the stairs when my studio door suddenly burst open. I screamed in fright. My brush did a wobble connecting with the canvas. I calmed my dog (who had just come in for a drink of water) and turned to the painting. </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">There, standing on the spiral stairs was a ghostly figure, not descending the stairs but calmly reaching over the handrail towards the shelves for a book. The feeling of fright was so authentic I left it exactly as it appeared. You can just make it out at top left, under the word 'Bibliotheca'. </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">During lockdown I wondered if Trinity College ghosts had taken full possession of campus. Had the corridors, lecture theatres, libraries, squares, the campus playing fields ever been so empty of people for such a long period? Or were the ghosts of bygone Trinity folk roaming the grounds with the Trinity Fox and occupying seats vacated by the living? And if so, will they continue to emerge into the less populated spaces?</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">In 2018 I gilded the work with 25 ct. gold leaf.</div></div><p><br /></p>sheenameagher.com@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16484851206045784264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7087883135564225812.post-43297219853647147412020-07-13T10:01:00.000+01:002020-07-13T10:01:25.764+01:00SOUNDS MUSICAL 3<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">Since 2019 I have been developing the concept of representing on
canvas the atmosphere created by musicians, storytellers, poets, dancers and
singers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I contacted</span><span class="gd"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #202124; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt; letter-spacing: .15pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></b></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #202124; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt; letter-spacing: .15pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Muireann Ni Dhuigneain </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">as I was particularly interested
in finding some sacred harp music, and following that conversation she commissioned
me to create a painting- leaving the brief wide open. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">The painting evolved, a group of musicians emerged, seated around a
table shaped like a fiddle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the
outset the musicians, even the instruments were not the focal point, rather the
notes merging and blending.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">Once I had the group in place I had the idea of inviting Muireann, a
musician herself, to help me bring the painting to life.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">She visited my studio in Johnstown and Muireann produced a recording
of ‘The Gold Ring’ played by Willie Clancy.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">The Gold Ring is a seven part jig, much loved by traditional musicians
and said to have been channeled from the Other World.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">Coincidentally I had pre-prepared two smaller canvass, one featuring a
fairy and one a harp, to use as a tutorial in mixing and applying Chinese inks.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">The theme was set and after lunch we set
about the main work. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">Muireann
instinctively chose colours for each instrument, three for the Uileann piper,
indigo for the bodhran ….and played music with finger tips dipped in colour
directly on the canvas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">The painting took two more sessions in studio to complete- each one
adding another layer of life and meaning to the finished work where I worked on
the piece with Muireann looking on, advising. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two of the musicians took on personalities of
actual people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Full creamy pints
appeared on the table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The notes blended
and a sweep of my fingers dipped in gold paint evoked gold rings suspended in
the air above the players.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rings are
not so obvious, appearing as light falls on the canvas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">I have always worked closely with clients when commissioned to create
a painting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">This was a new experience to invite the client to become part of the
actual painting process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11.0pt;">I feel the piece has the qualities we set out to evoke.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This Summer I was
adopted by three robins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the fabulous
lockdown weather I spent most hours in the garden, clearing ivy, reading,..<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Three robins accompanied me wherever I was and
it got to the stage that no matter what room I was even inside the house, one
or other would be perched by the window right outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our three dogs
come and go in and out the back door at will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Having to get in ahead of the robins and close the door before they came
in too became a habit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One morning I had
a dream one was in the house (again).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was woken by my mother calling me saying –“Do you know there is a robin outside
your bedroom door?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Two weeks ago
there were just two, not three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last
week one perched on the top of the old magnolia branch I have ‘planted’ as a
prop to hold the bird feeders and made the same note, over and over<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- not a song, but a constant ‘peep’ - looking
me in the eye for a solid 5 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
reaiise now that was it’s ‘goodbye’ – Robins may nest in a couple of different locations
during the Summer and they are off to pastures new now. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A friend from
Clare has a lovely phrase – ‘Some things and some people come into your life
for a reason, a season or a lifetime’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
enjoyed the company of the three robins and wish them well in their new garden.</span></div>

July 2020 goes to longevity.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">I have been
producing greeting cards from my artwork since 2002.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not all my paintings make it onto cards, but
those that do seem to have staying power (whenever I do a commissioned piece I
create a personalised greeting card file for the client’s sole use – but that’s
a different line of work.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">In the past
couple of weeks I created a pack – a real mixture<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- of my cards and they have gone very
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’ s the same with everything we
do - the knock on effect lasts and fans out like ripples in a lake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

to keep the doors closed as they’ve made several attempts to check out the
kitchen and living room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to rush
