My copy after @SirWilliamOrpen 'Lieutenant Egerton M Letts'. Only had two days with this at the Gorry Gallery before it went to auction @deVeresAuctions Fortunately, I had access to Orpen's palette which helped with pigment matching. #orpen #gearoidhayes #gearoidarthurhayes

24 URC matches so far this season have produced 32 maul tries. Each team is averaging 10 mauls per game, with each maul worth 3.7m per maul. The maul has become rugby's cheat code, are you not entertained? independent.ie/sport/rugby/r…

Rugby players who paint - not such a rare breed after all! 🎨🏉💪🖌️
Got the chance to attend Paddy McCarthy's art exhibition this week and chat to the Leinster and Ireland prop about his passion for painting and how it has helped him through low moments

Just time before my talk at the National Gallery of Ireland to admire one of the greatest works of art ever made. I love the idea that Caravaggio is himself holding the lamp.

Commissions be damned! About to resume work on the 'self-portrait' Walter Osborne should have painted. #walterosborne #walterfrederickosborne #irishart #gearoidhayesart #gearoidarthurhayes #portraiture #irishportraits

This exquisite pen and ink drawing by Walter F Osborne depicts The Return of the Flock which he exhibited in 1885 at the Royal Institute of Painters in Oil Colours (ROI), to which he was elected member in 1890. It was executed after the fact, for the ROI’s Illustrated Catalogue.

A number of these ‘sketches’ (a term Osborne himself used to describe them) have survived and are much sought after by collectors. The sketch after Dublin Streets: A Vendor of Books achieved a hammer price of €16,000 at Adams in 2012. This sketch is offered by deVeres.

Fitzgibbon Street off Mountjoy Square was once one of Dublin's few sloped Georgian streets, with houses stepped down the hill to NCR, similar to Belvedere Place. The houses were demolished and replaced c.1970 by Fitzgibbon Court - 54 flats in blocks set back from the street line.

It's terrific to see the leadership that @LimerickCouncil has provided in tackling dereliction. But projects should aspire to a better conservation standard. We should not be losing traditional sash windows, doors, chimneys and finishes. Irish towns are defined by these elements.

#HeritageAtRisk Charming but derelict mid-Victorian gate lodge at entrance to former Beech Park house (ruin), Ennis, Co Clare. It would not be prohibitively expensive to put this small building back into repair and use. 📷: 1. 2009 2 & 3. Current 4. 1911 OS map #DerelictIreland

Two interesting pieces by Walter Frederick Osborne coming up @Adams1887 this evening. The landscape (lot 12) is entitled 'Lake in Connemara' - a pint 🍺 for anyone who can identify the specific location! #walterosborne #gearoidarthurhayes #connemara
