2020 St Patricks Day in Ireland
2020: St Patricks Day Ireland
A strange day here in Ireland as the seriousness of the pandemic unfolds and the government takes steps to flatten the curve and stop the spread of Covid 19.
We need to be warriors
In Irish legend and according to the most popular account of Fionn MacCumhail’s death, he is not dead at all, rather, he sleeps in a cave, surrounded by the Fianna. One day he will awake and defend Ireland in the hour of her greatest need.
You are needed awake now Fionn not just for Ireland but for the world.

Where I buy my supplies....
Art Supplies in Dublin
In the past I have stretched my own canvas on to wooden frames. However, although cheaper than a ready stretched canvas, it is not one bit convenient. So currently I buy ready stretched canvas.
For canvas, I go to Evans on Capel Street.
My last expedition to Evans was on Saturday and I hired a GoCar van as the canvas I proposed buying would not fit in my Smart Car!!
Along with canvas, I buy oil sticks and brushes in Evans.
For other art supplies I visit Tiger and also sometimes hardware stores for domestic paint.
And finally I get my spray paint in All City Records where I have a browse at the vinyl when I visit which always makes for a fun trip that Enid likes to do with me.
Here's me on my most recent canvas buying expedition in the GoCar van.
