“That Summer in Dublin”, painted in 2025 was part of a series of summer themed paintings for the Doorway Gallery in Dublin. This one at 100cm x 150cm is the largest and is unique in that it was inspired by a bit of nostalgia for the old 46A bus route which was axed earlier that year. The well-known bus route became immortalized in the Bagatelle song of 1980, “Summer in Dublin”, in which it is mentioned, along with Grafton Street. The song is obviously set in 1976, due to the mention of “Rock and Roll never forgets” by Bob Seger which was a hit that summer. So, much fun was had depicting Grafton Street as it was then, and the fashions of the time. The painting is still available at the Doorway Gallery.
