Danny’s new exhibition is inspired by nature
Sheep and Red deer are a great source of inspiration for local artist Danny Lyne who draws his inspiration for his latest exhibition of paintings on nearby Mangerton Mountain.
His latest exhibition features in Bricín craft shop and restaurant on High Street for the entire month of August.
Danny grew up on the shores of Muckross Lake in Killarney, where he lived during his childhood at Torc Cottages in the National Park. Danny is a self-taught artist, painting since he was a child at primary school level, where he was lucky enough to encounter an artistic teacher who, on recognising his talent, introduced him to mixing colours and obtained for him his very first set of artist quality paints. Growing up in the National Park had a huge influence on the development of Danny’s work.
“The subtleties of the varying light and changing seasons impressed upon the textures of the natural world fascinate me. The cycles of nature, like the return of salmon every year and the seasonally changing behaviour of the deer in the woods and mountains are a constant source of inspiration," he said.
Today, Danny continues to live and work in his beloved Killarney, at the foot of Mangerton mountain. “The medium of oil paints lends itself beautifully to his constant compulsion to capture the varying temperatures of colour in the patterns and nuances of nature."
Being self-taught, Danny’s technique is fluid, and this helps him to respond naturally to what he sees. Danny has won a number of awards, and his works hang in numerous countries throughout the world. His painting continues to evolve in response to his continued fascination with the visual world.

Members of the Killarney Soroptimist Society visited the Rockmount Care Centre on Wednesday, to present a cheque for €3000 to Nurse Manager Mary Hussey.
The significant sum was raised during the society’s successful annual pancake morning held on Shrove Tuesday at the Killarney Avenue Hotel.
Rockmount Care Centre provides essential support as a dedicated day care facility for individuals living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, serving many clients and families from the Killarney area.
These funds arrive at a vital time, as they are earmarked for the centre’s new sensory garden project, which is currently in the design phase.
Pictured at the presentation are Soroptimists members handing over the proceeds to Mary Hussey. The society extended their thanks to the Killarney Avenue Hotel and all those who supported the fundraiser to help make this donation possible.
