Suaimhneas
An exhibition of paintings by Deirdre Walsh. ³My inspiration lies in the harmonious interplay of colour notes in my environment. I wish to convey light and silence. Using paint I try to hold my grip on fleeting moments. An elusive light provides me with occasional glimpses of an underlying mystery in nature. The challenge lies in trying to capture colour notes which are revealed by changing light. As in music these notes must be played harmoniously.² Garter Lane Arts Centre, O¹Connell Street, Waterford.
