creativity, ideas, inspiration
At the start of the COVID lockdown, myself and my children decided to paint our garden furniture with several splashes of vivid colours. As we ease out of the pandemic, we felt it was time to give them a fresh burst of colours for the approaching spring.
The ever-changing, beautiful street art of Grand Canal Docks
Once again my sons and I strolled by the street art and got to see fresh new splashes of colour and creativity. There is something really beautiful and odd about how fleeting a lot of this work is. Painted over masterprieces with new slices of art. And it really speaks to my kids who see that art can exist anywhere
Took another stroll along the Grand Canal basin to see what new visual delights now adorn the walls
In the midst of all this sadness in the world, the kids and I decided to embark on a brand new creative project to brighten up our garden furniture. It brought some much needed joy.
Over the past few weeks in quarantine, myself and the kids have been working on an ambitious, colourful art project. We took this old whiskey barrel that my dad got from his days as a biochemist in Irish Distillers (and subsequently housed his dreadful elderberry wine) and sanded it down, primed it, and then spray painted it graffiti style with vibrant colours. It is such a burst of brightness and joy in the corner of our garden. Adds some much needed light during this darkness. Art is good for the heart
