Oils on canvas (sold). After visiting Doolin, I tried to remember the cliffs Cliffs of Moher in County clare) and painted this scene from my memory. Strong sunset, I know. This painting was done soon after we moved to Clare from Dublin and I think the memories of African sunsets were still strong in my mind. Nevertheless, I soon learned that these sunsets are not so unusual albeit more tinged with lilacs and purples. Wildlife, landscapes and Irish life paintings by Avril Brand Clare Art Blog

A middle aged gent takes a brisk walk along the seafront on Dollymount Beach, Bull Island Dublin City. A beautiful part of Dublins Northside and amazingly a place to learn how to drive a car! Very windy and great for windsurfers of all types, both land and sea. Only available as a card at the moment til I get my hands on a neg scanner.

Ballymun housing estate on Dublins Northside in 1995. A community that was plagued with drugs and drug dealers and of course poverty and apathy. There was more than a few suicides by leaping from the balconies and stairwells of the flats. A governments dream for low cost housing in the 1960´s when they cleared the inner cities. Ireland was not ready for this type of housing as it was not a bungalow on an acre of land front and back and it was therefore systematically neglected. In many ways “The Flats” were ahead of their times and those living there suffered because of it. That said Ballymun had & has a great sense of community and pride sadly lacking in many “better-off” housing estates. Now scheduled for demoliton, three of these towers, all named after leaders of Irelands 1916 armed rising against British rule, still stand. Here there be neighbours.

Here is my friend dreaming in her share house in Cadogan road Fairview Dublin cerca 1993. What had struck her right then I do not know in fact I do not remember whether I asked her to strike such a pose but I think not. I love the image and I particularly like that at that moment a little bubble lived briefly atop the fairy liquid bottle. Her twin sister is in in my portfolio too.

Amanda Bruckner the former Miss Ireland in Ricky Corrs never released masterpiece short “I am River Phoenix”. The story is covered in Marilyn in the Movies and it was my first film as a stills photographer. / I have the rights to the photographs by the way in case anybody is asking. Or you can ask Ricky. I am hoping that someday Ricky will finish this film as though it was an unmitigated disaster due to the camera operator framing Ricky and other members of the crew into the edges of scenes I think that it might add to the overall madness of a young Dublin businesswoman passing out in the back of a Taxi just as the news of River Phoenix’s tragic death comes over the radio and subsequently waking up as River Phoenix. Brilliant! Below and all around is Dublin with the River Liffey resembling cellulite. You can also see O’Connell Bridge in the midground and the arched footbridge which is the famous Ha’penny Bridge to be found without fail on all postcards of Dublin.

Taken in 1994 in Raheny Dublin they are the daughters of my cousin, she in the background working hard on motherly things. What I like about this photo is that neither girl was striking a pretty child model pose or adopting a face for the camera, in fact both were a little awkward in front of the lens but what was apparent after I printed the photo was that their love for each other was clear.

Georgian terrace, once owned by the gentry as Dublin townhouses, then many were tenements stuffed with the poor whose landlords were the same aristocrats now also down on their luck. At this time, 1995, they were somewhat less stuffed with students and the odd lawyers office. It was late but not that late for one person at least to clean the porch. Taken from the roof on a very cold winters night. Later, we threw snowballs.

Irish Gardaí Síochana take a bus instead of a Black Maria van. I got on this bus on George’s street, or some part of that street that has several names, in Dublin and after sitting down turned around to see oodles of Gardai. / I had my camera. / I was cheeky. / I turned and asked whilst showing the camera if I could take a picture. Reluctantly they agreed some with humour others not so much. They had their hats off so I shot one without and realising that this would never occur again I asked if they would put their hats on. “Ah go on off with ya,” said one. “Hats on”, barked the sergeant/captain from the back of the bus. Hats went on, “Smile please”, I said. Smiles were fixed. “Could you all look straight ahead please?”, I asked. Eyes were pointed forward. “Could you move just a bit to your right?, Yeah you. Thanks” “Take the photo!” I heard. I did. Here it is. / 1995 On a public bus George’s Street – Dublin

© COPYRIGHT 2008 – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED The Irish State – History Of The State —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / The first Government of the new State was headed by William T. Cosgrave of the Cumann na nGaedheal (later Fine Gael) party. Cosgrave set about establishing an administration which would enable the country to recover from the ravages of war. The Government’s founding of the Electricity Supply Board in 1927 and the opening of the Shannon hydro-electric scheme marked an important stage in the country’s economic development. / Éamon de Valera led the Fianna Fáil party which drew support from those who had opposed the treaty. Fianna Fáil came to power in 1932 with de Valera as head of Government. A dispute over continuous land payments to the British Government led to the ‘economic war’ of 1932-38. Trade with Britain was restricted and considerable hardship resulted. In 1937 de Valera introduced a new constitution declaring Ireland to be a sovereign, independent, democratic state. Ireland remained neutral during the Second World War, 1939-45. Although the wartime years were a period of shortages and difficulties, the country was spared the worst effects of the conflict.Fianna Fáil lost office in the 1948 election after sixteen continuous years in power. The new administration, headed by John A. Costello, was an inter-party Government formed by Fine Gael, Labour and other parties. In 1948 the Republic of Ireland Act was passed, severing the last constitutional links with Britain. Costello’s Government fell in 1951 after a controversy over the future direction of social policy. De Valera led another Fianna Fáil administration for the next three years and Costello returned to Government in 1954.Ireland was admitted to the United Nations in 1955. Irish delegations have played an active role in UN affairs over the years and from 1958 onwards Irish troops have been involved in a large number of UN peacekeeping operations. Fianna Fáil regained power in the 1957 election and Éamon de Valera resigned the leadership of the party in 1959 to serve as President of Ireland. He was succeeded by Sean Lemass under whose premiership the country began a period of rapid economic expansion. The signing of the Anglo-Irish free-trade agreement in 1965 led to significant developments in trading patterns and to industrial expansion. Even more importantly, Ireland became a member of the European Community in 1973.In the years since 1969 the crisis in Northern Ireland has affected the Irish State. Successive Governments have sought to develop a solution to the problem which will provide lasting peace and stability. Profound change has affected the political, social, economic and cultural life of the country in the intervening quarter century.
