‘Colour is the place where our brain and the universe meet.’

Paul Klee

I love vibrant colours & choose them intuitively. Our brains react to them subconsciously through emotion whether we realise it or not! Often that’s why a picture speaks to you

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow

Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,

And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,

Thread: Today is Imbolc, which celebrates the first day of Spring in Ireland. It is an ancient Celtic feast & is marked as St Bridget’s Day, it’s Christian re-incarnation. In schools children make St Bridget’s crosses to celebrate it. (pictured: Hill of Tara) #StBrigidsDay

Harry Clarke’s studio depicted her unique cross in their stained glass windows. Here’s the ‘Saint’ & her cross. Historians now believe she is an integration of an early medieval Kildare Abbess & a Celtic goddess. Because of this she holds a popular place in Irish tradition

Intriguingly, traditions re prophecy are associated with the feast in Ireland. Irish Hedgehogs may have been the inspiration of ‘Groundhog Day’. It’s said if one comes out of its burrow, on the day & doesn’t scuttle back in, then good weather is augured! (Pic: Irish Examiner)

Thread: Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was one of Ireland’s greatest artists. His medium was stained glass & he created masterpieces which integrated Celtic art with Art Nouveau. He was not only one of the great Western artists but also a personal favourite. Let’s take a look!

One of Clarke’s most moving works is his Agony in the Garden (1924) which is in the Institute of Education & Celtic Culture in Dingle. It is one of a number of stunning windows in the Institute

Thread: Thomas Couture (1815-79) was a French history painter & teacher. He was born on this day. Although mainly known to experts in art history, his work has charm. One of his greatest works is in the National Gallery of Ireland: The Realist Painter (1865)

He was born in Oise, but moved to Paris where he studied art at an industrial school before moving to the École des Beaux-Arts. He won the Prix de Rome, after 6 goes, in 1837. A Widow (1840), Horace & Lydia (1843), Jules Michelet (1843) & Reverie (1840-1)

Thread: Today on the Winter Solstice, one of the oldest traditions on the planet is played out at Newgrange, Ireland. Newgrange is older than the Pyramids & Stonehenge & was built between 3500-3200BC. Let’s take a look at this World Heritage Site & Solar Clock

As the sun rises on the Solstice it passes through a lightbox at the entrance to the tomb & travels down the 60ft passageway to a central chamber marking the shortest day of the year.
