Hi Folks,
I know im in the wrong section but for some reason i am not allowed access into Arts & Architecture... says i do not have permission :O
Anyway a long shot that im hoping someone can help.
My wife and i say this painting in the castle hotel in Macroom during weekend break. My wife loved it and the hotel didnt know anything about it other that it had been there for quite awhile.
My wife is due our first child and i would like to see if i can find a copy of it as a gift to her.
I understand if this is removed but would be grateful if anyone can help

Thanking you in advance.
Stephen.

That is the answer though, is it not? The artist's name is at the top of the page, Govinder Nazran is his name. Apparently he died from a reaction to painting varnish in 2008.

That is so terribly sad. His art is wonderful! Do art colleges warn students about the health issues with these materials? I have even varnished small furniture out of doors or at least opened all windows. It's toxic stuff!

when you are spraying any solvent based products, you need a face mask and proper ventilation.

Varnishing with a brush isn't so bad.

I'm glad you got your answer but what a sad ending. Such a pity!

Hi Folks,

Thanks very much for the help.
Such a tragic story and loss of a great talent.
I still cant find a copy of "Boo Dog" even a poster to get framed would be great.

Thanks Again.

Stephen.
