Image: Mark Francis: Oscillator I, 2025 Oil on canvas 183 x 153 cm | there are maybe up to 50 notional vertical bars in this image, each of them containing some colour, often stain-like, usually towards the vertical centre; the effect is like seeing a bunch of people through a distorting sheet of glass, looking at a bit of x-ray spectroscopy, or bands of DNA • "Solstice Arts Centre is delighted to announce TRACING ECHOES, a major exhibition by acclaimed Irish artist Mark Francis. Known for his dynamic and visually arresting paintings, Francis creates works charged with movement, sound, and rhythm. His practice combines intense sequences of colour within tightly gridded structures, generating a compelling tension between order and chaos. There is an agitation in Francis’s work - a pulse, a vibration - as if the forms and colours are trying to break free, bleed into one another, or shift beyond their boundaries. His longstanding engagement with science provides fertile ground for…”

7 Mar 1522: Hugh Inge #Dominican Bishop of #Meath and client of Cardinal Wolsey is appointed Lord Chancellor of #Ireland #otd.
In Feb 1523 he would become Archbishop of #Dublin. A papal legate friend in court is good for a career.
photo side-on of a puffin with a mouthful of small fish who do look surprised; mostly yellow background, some blurred grass in the foregroud • “Meath County Council Arts Office presents Wildlife Encounters Through the Lens, an exhibition of work by award winning photographer Tom Ormond. This exhibition showcases the variety and beauty of some of the birds and animals that award-winning photographer Tom Ormond has encountered along his way. Tom Ormond took up nature photography a few years ago, and since then he has had some of the most amazing experiences both observing and photographing wildlife. Whether it's puffins on the Great Saltee Islands or mountain hares in the Cairngorms, his interest in both nature and photography has combined to allow him to capture these images and the memories associated with them. Half of the images in this exhibition were photographed in his garden near Ratoath in Co. Meath and the other half were photographed further afield in Ireland and the…”

Transcript of a gravestone inscription and snippet of local history about the family concerned.

A forest walk on a very wet, humid day. Moss covered trees each side of a leaf strewn path.
A little further on over the hill. Trees each side of the path with an old stone wall completely covered in bright green moss. Leaf litter all around.
Moss so bright it almost looks fake. The result of five weeks rain at Mullaghmeen in Co. Meath, Ireland.

Several St. Brigid's crosses sitting on one of the large stones of the cairn at Loughcrew in Co. Meath, Ireland. The crosses have been blown and scattered by the wind and rain at the top of this exposed, windswept hill. The rocks behind are the base of the cairn.
Votive offerings of St. Brigid's crosses on the cairn at Loughcrew (see previous post). Presumably left here on the recent Imbolc/St. Brigid's Day (Feb 1).

A wide angle view of a large neolithic passage tomb and burial mound alongside an ancient stone circle. The site is estimated to be 5,000 to 6,000 years old. The burial mound contains a central passage that aligns with the sun during the spring and autumnal equinox. The cairn is quite large, I'd guess 20 metres across and 5 to 10 metres high. It is surrounded by several stone circles, each 5 to 10 metres in diameter. On this morning the fog added to the visit completely hiding all other signs of life from the surrounding area. It was a moving experience I have to say.
I had a great visit to Loughcrew passage tomb in Co. Meath this past Monday. Pictured here along with one of several stone circles that surround the tomb. The ancient site combined with the dense fog created a timeless atmosphere.

5 Feb 1621: James Ussher of #Dublin chosen special preacher by the #English House of Commons #otd (Bodl) It's a foreign policy political minefield, but he's lucky and the crisis passes before he actually gets in the pulpit. Soon after he is consecrated bishop of #Meath
