The Hall of the Wonky Mirrors, included as a post for an exhibition called Party Class, which may or may not have been an accidental distortion of the song title Parting Glass. Which is real? That's a trick question, this is an #oilpainting. #art #inspiredbyPrague #buyIrishart #mirrormaze

Where are the swans? Didn't see any when we were there .... the forest and lake in Coole Park, formerly home to Lady Augusta Gregory, playwright, poet, patron of the arts, and a formidable lady. #Galway #buyIrishart https://www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com/available-works/p/absent-swans-coole-park

Imagine having something as unusual as this in your home. Inspired by a visit to Paris, France, and all the novels I've ever read about this city. #artirlandais #irischeskunst #iersekunst #shadowstories #paris https://www.orlaclancycontemporaryart.com/available-works/p/all-time-everywhere-anyone

Gorgeous little painting of the islet that's in the middle of Banna Strand where the Lough Akeragh outlet is located. The tide was just in, and the islet cut off for several hours. Sold through Draíocht Gallery in Adare. Visit my website for yours. #art #wildatlanticway #orlaclancycontemporaryart

I love the beaches of Ireland that aren't so well-known. We spent a day on this one when the forest hike we had intended to do was obscured by mist, and it turned out to be a lovely day. #seascape #beach #art #acrylicpainting #wildatlanticway #orlaclancycontemporaryart

Spent over an hour tramping through neighbouring fields looking for composter that had blown away during Storm Eowyn only to find it 2 metres from its spot on my own garden hidden by laurel branches.

One thing I couldn't help noticing about Rome was the number of couples getting their wedding photos taken. This couple were up on the Aventine Hill for theirs. The views across the valley were stunning, they both must have been roasting in the early summer heat. #art

Storm Eowyn was really something, yesterday had no electricity for 12 hours, and today no water until this afternoon, but still no WiFi as they are still repairing bits. #eowyn

Made in 2014, and sold through the #DraíochtGallery in Adare in County Limerick. Street Festivals are gold - great for snapping moments, full of colour and activity and music. This is the Spraoi Festival in Waterford. Limerick City Council should take note. #bringbackRoyaleDeluxe #thisishowitsdone

3 is a magical number, a number of balance and assymetry. I love doing groups of three ... these ladies I spotted in a photo I took near Novohal Cove in County Cork, at the time I took the shot we were watching a sea eagle ... it was a rare warm Spring day. day. #orlaclancycontemporaryart

20 years ago, while in Limerick Art College. I think this painting incorporates two major disciplines of contemporary art, drawing and photography, the sketch and the snapshot. My question to you is, what do you think about when you look at this? #art #randompeople #orlaclancycontemporaryart

7 of 7. Acrylic on thick paper. First I painted a layer of yellow ochre, let it dry, then taped off the edge and painted in the image. I love the dark blues and purples with the yellows here. Which is your favourite? #irishart #acrylicpainting #orlaclancycontemporaryart #artexperiment

6 of 7: This one was sketched out in pencil and painted in watercolour. Never my favourite paint medium, as I always feel it needs more pigment, but lovely for skies and mountains in the distance. #watercolor #art #orlaclancycontemporaryart #artexperiment
