New site: Irish Arts Blog

I recently learned that Paul O'Mahony of Siopaeile.com has launched a new blog, focused on bringing together Irish artists and their work. Thus far, there are 11 artists in all, and they plan to add additional artists in the coming months. The artists come from all over Ireland and offer a variety of styles and perspectives. From what I've seen thus far, the work is rich in diversity, covering a range of mediums including paint, photography, mosaic, sculpture and crafts.

Here is a selection of the work featured on Irish Arts Blog (click each image to be taken to an entry with information about the artist). This is an exciting addition to the art blogging world, so be sure to stop by their site for more!

Travel the World: Virtual Panoramas.

Visit Versailles, scale Mt. Everest, stand in the Red Square (or get as close as you can, without the expense). One word of warning; the panoramas are image intensive, so if your computer struggles to handle heavy loads, you may want to sit this one out.
