Yes, well I’m glad that they’re talking about it now, but it’s just too tragic that it took the death of Jonathan Corrie, a 43-year-old man from Kilkenny for “the powers that be” to start doing something about the problem of homelessness in Ireland. He died in a doorway, just 50 yards from the Dáil (the Irish Parliament). May he rest in peace.
The painting above will feature in the Winter groupshow ‘Reflections’ which opens on Thursday 11th December in the Olivier Cornet Gallery, Cavendish Row, Parnell Square.

This is so sad. The plight of homeless people is present in this poignant painting where the glow and warmth of a fire recreates the hearth of home with its associations of comfort and safety. Good luck with the show and I hope it has an impact with those in a position to change things for the better.
