WATER LILLIES BY TOM SCOTT FROM THE EXHIBITION
The 138th annual exhibition of the Dublin Painting and Sketching Club – Ireland’s largest group show – continues at the Concourse Gallery, County Hall, Dun Laoighaire until May 21. Experts from auctioneers Whyte’s will be in attendance on May 20 between 1pm and 4pm to offer valuations of private collections of paintings.
The 2016 exhibition features amongst the broad range of nearly 300 fine works by more than 80 member artists, a number of paintings specially created as a visual tribute to and inspired by the poems and literary works by Irish authors of the past 100 years. As is the Club’s custom, each themed picture carries a written caption, explaining the painter’s response to the original work.
