Two treats in one: if you go for a visit to Russborough House in Blessington, Co Wicklow over the next few weeks, you will also find delight in an exhibition of new paintings by Patrick Walshe, which go on show tomorrow.
Born in Co Clare, Walshe left Ireland in the 1980s, travelled widely, and lived in both New York and Los Angeles. He now lives in Wicklow and his latest paintings are warm evocations of the light and landscapes of the garden county.
Russborough House is open to the public October 12, 19th, 26th and 27th, from 9am to 6pm. (See also www.patrick-walshe.com).
