I painted this portrait of Virtue Dixon in 2015 as part of my 'Silent Testimony' Exhibition. In 1982, Virtue's daughter Ruth was killed in a bomb attack on her 24th birthday during the Troubles here in Northern Ireland… 1/4

A wonderful afternoon at @mullaghgaa for the official opening of the new biodiversity trail.
I truly believe this is the sort of unique project that should be replicated nationwide.
Delighted to support it with almost €340,000 under LEADER.

To round of a historic week for nature restoration, I met with volunteers of Killyconny bog project in #Cavan to see work to #restorenature in action.
An impressive group of people, surveying, monitoring and raising awareness of the importance of our bogs. – at Kilkenny, Ireland

After a few hours walking some of our fields to see how the crops are doing this afternoon. I was lucky enough to have 2 Barn Owls hunting less than 10m from me. 🐭🐭🦉A lovely way to finish the first day off the year before everything gets busy tomorrow. #naturefriendlyfarming

Sycamore Gap by Zoe Mitchell
You’re history, said the tree to the wall;
the last crumbling remains of empire.
You are the invader, replied the wall.
I am the conqueror, said the tree to the wall;
sending platoons of seeds across my territory.
I stand alone, replied the wall.
Great to have two barn owls around the farmyard….seen tonight and the remains of a meal inside the barn owl box a few days ago. Now to locate a nest…#barnowl #barnowlboxesdowork #rodentcontrol

Lily of the Valley is the birth flower of May. It is said that when the fairies take a rest from their work to make merry on #MayDay morn, they hang their dew-gathering cups on grass stems. As the sun rises they are magically transformed into Lily of the Valley flowers. #folklore
Apricots developing in an old vinery, Co Louth. Always productive and always delicious. Old variety but which? #apricots #vinery #kitchengarden
