I’m not going to hit you over the head with four leaf clovers, leprechauns and pots o’ gold, though it is indeed that time of year. I’m finding it hard not to feel at least slightly festive right now with spring right around the corner and all. Here are a few bits and bobs of Hibernian flavor for you, just to get you in the mood for Paddy’s Day:

Sean Scully (b. 1945, Dublin) "Chelsea Sun" at Galerie Lelong on artnet.com

Francis Bacon (b. 1909, Dublin) "Triptych 1983" Marlborough Gallery on artnet.com

Irish-born interior designer Clodagh clodagh.com

If you are interested in Contemporary Art and you like Tears for Fears, you might enjoy this quirky piece by Irish artist Gareth Kennedy:

Remember, this is a day when everyone’s Irish!
