Ah here, have another #painting. "Ormond Quay" was done 3 years ago. I based it on a lifetime of loving Dublin City's quays. I like buildings, squares, rectangles, right angles, that sort of thing, and my head is full of them all the time. Sometimes they come out like this. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm

It’s Claude Rains’ birthday
Do yourself a favour and watch James Whale’s The Invisible Man.
