Landscape format in painterly acrylics on canvas panel. Stone feature of three standing stones with a large slim slab on top and another stone to the right, which along with the foreground is rendered in a very dark combination of blue and red and silhouetted against a sky which has a central rough oval porthole of light blue that is surrounded by a soft white rim and purple cloud that gets darker as it gets further from the hole. The horizon slopes a little down to the left. Signed bottom left in dark blue, Liam

A #painting for youse to have a goo at. "Poulnabrone I". Because I like big stones. This was the first time I painted Ireland's iconic portal tomb in County Clare's Burren. It used to hang in the US and in Australia but now hangs in a good home in County Derry. #art #StandingStoneSunday #SpeirGhorm

Met an auld lad earlier who told me his family dog ran out on to the set of The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965) during filming in Smithfield, Dublin, and his family all went to see it to see their dog on the big screen.

Landscape format in acrylics on mat board. Between a yellow into orange sky, and a lime into green body of water, is a horizontal strip of a terrace of 10 houses (left to right: pale green, pale blue, paler blue, white, dark blue, red, mid-blue, yellow, pale blue, pink) with dark blue and purple slate roofs. Three houses have 3 stories, the rest 2. All have small dark windows. Behind are rooftops and gables, and in front is a dark blue quay wall running across the width of the painting. It has 2  small pale blue and white fishing boats docked on green and yellow seaweed at bottom of the quay wall on the right. A small round orange buoy floats in the middle of the harbour to the left. Signed bottom right in red, Liam Daly

Have a #painting. From a few years back "The Long Walk Again" is not the first time I've painted the iconic Galway scene. And knowing me it's unlikely to be the last. There are other places in the west of Ireland to paint, but something about the shapes and space draw me back here. #art #SpeirGhorm

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

🚨 Bernardo Silva on penalty on Haaland: β€œAll 50/50s have gone against us this season. It's the reality”. β€œFor me it was a penalty. Some might have a different opinion. What can Erling do? As I said, we're used to it. We know how it works”, told TNT Sports.
