1 Feb: St Brigid. 5/6th C founder of Cell Dara/#Kildare, & others! One of Ireland's patron saints, along with Patrick & Columba! Many miracles even from when she was a girl! 43 Kilbride placenames in Ireland, & places in Scotland/Wales/Isle of Man/Antarctica! "Mary of the Irish"!
As the light goes & we enter the vigil of her feast of 1 Feb, I'm posting a nicely baroque Brigid from the latter part 17th century to begin with: H. Brigitta van Kildare, by Theodor Matham (Rijksmuseum)
As it’s the end of the year, here is a thread of my Irish counties painted like things they look like

Happy Kilda Day. Apparently it's been a year since the first time I drew her.
'Hear the falconer' 90 x 80cm oil and acrylic on board painting by Irish artist Eoghan McGrath. This featured piece is one of 14 new paintings in Eoghan's exhibition 'Gyre' currently running at The Kildare Gallery at Carton House. We are open daily so do drop by.
174: George Roy Hills SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE (1972), baserad på Vonneguts roman, är minst sagt en strange cookie. Många enskilda delar (Tralfalmadore!) är helt fantastiska men WW2-segmenten känns bleka och Michael Sacks tolkning av Billy Pilgrim lämnar en del att önska. ★★★
It was a great pleasure to create an image for @HerstoryIreland’s illuminations…here is the living goddess @mary_coughlan4 and her image projected on Kildare Cathedral and, in her home town @GalwayMuseum, during the St Brigid’s illuminations last February
#Otd 1534: "Silken Thomas" Fitzgerald, 10th Earl of Kildare, heard rumours his father executed. Rode to St Mary's Abbey, Dublin with 140 gallowglasses! Renounced allegiance to cousin King Henry VIII! Henry confined his father to the Tower! Revolt followed! Father d. months later!
For pride month we want to highlight some talented LGBTQ+ creatives of colour 🌈
First up is Kate Escolin (@tinygreensart) who is a talented illustrator based in Kildare creating colourful, cute designs and 4 panel comics capturing tender moments.
Even as a girl, St Brigid of Kildare was so holy that she would vomit, when the druid, who owned her in some versions of her 'Lives', tried to feed her! He with his pagan beliefs was impure! A white cow with red ears appeared to sustain her instead! 🎨Kaye Maahs #MythologyMonday

I’m going to start a 3rd and FINAL thread on the Irish county paintings that isn’t broken and people can see the counties from start to finish
