Were you ever assailed by a thought? I mean, a thought that connects you to unfamiliar territory and people? You’re there, pottering along, not really paying much attention to anything in particular , doing the humdrum thing, when – bang – something you’ve heard in the background or seen in a glimpse stands up in your mind and demands attention. This happens, thankfully, quite a lot. I was driving on a secondary road a while ago. It was a clear night in November and there was very little traffic about. Dare I say it, but it really was a moonlit scene. It was a time when you feel afloat – no distractions. Then, in a glimpse, I saw a house in the far distance, surrounded by trees and blackness. Only one room of the house, the sittingroom, was lit and for that one megasecond, I felt I was in that room – part of that scenario because there was only darkness between us. Thankfully, I paint because I can illustrate this moment better on canvas than in words. Thats it for today.

Moments of inspiration
May 29, 2007Stunted creativity
May 9, 2007Just throwing thoughts out and about . I just read a fantastically succint description of blogging by Annette Clancy and it made it clear to me just how open a process this is. The thought of putting personal ideas out there is a little scary but I can see that it could be a mind altering process. I’m just wondering how other artists cope with situations where the drive to get up and do is suddenly crashed by circumstances? Just a thought.
Second blast at blogging
May 6, 2007Bernie Mc here. Second blast at blogging. I spent the day in Merrion Square in Dublin where artists have a space to exhibit their pictures. Im feeling awkward doing this but, no doubt, inspiration will flow. When I get the swing of it, I’ll publish some images of my work.
New kid on the block
May 4, 2007Greetings,
Bernie Mc Adam’s the name and art is the game. I’m completely new to this concept of thought projection into cyperspace so it will be a bit wobbly to begin with, I’m sure. Im an artist and I’m looking forward to chatting online. That’s it for now.
