Shannon artist Dominic McNamara, has found 2020  extremely difficult financially. His last public exhibition was back in February in the People's Museum of Limerick with no opportunity to showcase his work since.
One of his paintings, ‘A Silent Tear’, strikes a very poignant chord and has attracted much positive comment from passers bye while on display in SkyCourt. 
According to Dominic it’s a personal tribute to the bravery and selflessness of frontline health workers and “it gives an idea of how I thought they might feel as they go about their work”.
He added, “People were dying from this pandemic all around them, their own colleagues were getting sick from the virus and I would imagine this was one of the toughest jobs possible, given that so many people could be so sick at any one time.”
Normally this is a time of year when galleries and other facilities play host to many art exhibition, but this is no normal year. 
Still, Dominic remains hopeful that the present lockdown will have a real impact on containing the virus thus allowing for some chance to make a few sales before Christmas. 
Dominic McNamara’s work is available through a number of websites including New Irish Art, Inis Artists and his own Facebook page.

Christmas artisan markets, choral and street trad music, children’s entertainment, street radio, a Christmas window display competition, an appearance by Liam McCarthy, and a Santa Train rolling through the town centre are amongst the highlights of this year’s Christmas in Ennis programme.
Festivities get underway on Thursday when Santa Claus comes to town for the switching of the Christmas Lights with live music from the Circus Ponies and Vocal Ponies, and a special guest appearance by All-Ireland winning Clare hurling captain Tony Kelly and manager Brian Lohan with Liam MacCarthy in tow.
Pictured with Santa are Moira and Madeline Kelly.

The site,  in a wooded area, is located on the Cooraclare road across from the site of what was previously the Kilrush Poor Law Union Workhouse. In the late twenties it was then utilised as a  Mother And Babies home, which it is believed was closed in the early 1930's.

It was love at first sight when they met at the Garryowen Irish Club in Hammersmith 61 years previously  . They had both been working in London since the early 1930s and went out together for 12 months before walking down the aisle of Strawberry Hill Church in Twickenham on September 5, 1938. They initially made their home in London but moved back to Ireland at the outbreak of the Second World War, settling in Tulla where they raised six children. Now in their early 80s, they have 29 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren - October 2, 1998.

Shannon artist Dominic McNamara, has found 2020  extremely difficult financially. His last public exhibition was back in February in the People's Museum of Limerick with no opportunity to showcase his work since.
One of his paintings, ‘A Silent Tear’, strikes a very poignant chord and has attracted much positive comment from passers bye while on display in SkyCourt. 
According to Dominic it’s a personal tribute to the bravery and selflessness of frontline health workers and “it gives an idea of how I thought they might feel as they go about their work”.
He added, “People were dying from this pandemic all around them, their own colleagues were getting sick from the virus and I would imagine this was one of the toughest jobs possible, given that so many people could be so sick at any one time.”
Normally this is a time of year when galleries and other facilities play host to many art exhibition, but this is no normal year. 
Still, Dominic remains hopeful that the present lockdown will have a real impact on containing the virus thus allowing for some chance to make a few sales before Christmas. 
Dominic McNamara’s work is available through a number of websites including New Irish Art, Inis Artists and his own Facebook page.
