Shane MacGowan & ‘Fairytale’
'Fairytale Of New York'.....That crisp familiar piano intro, and Shane's unique earthy voice... " It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank..." This is OUR Irish Christmas song, and...
I recently completed this 20″ by 24″ painting of the great Ruby Walsh. Ruby, who has over 2000 winners to his name, is the most successful rider at the Cheltenham festival with 45 wins there, and in 2009 had 7 wins in 4 days. He is shown here on ‘Hurricane Fly’, dual winner of the Champion Hurdle, and world record holder of the most Grade 1 races ever. To illustrate his place in Irish Racing folklore, the great Christy Moore has immortalised Ruby in the ever-popular ‘Ballad of Ruby Walsh’. You know you’ll never be forgotten when Christy is singing your praises!
There are 100 Limited Edition Prints (€90 each) of this painting available at: http://irishsportsart.com/gallery/ruby-walsh-hurricane-fly/ …and at present, the original Painting can be purchased for €480 by emailing me at: info@irishsportsart.com
Remember, commissioning a painting is an easy process, and all enquires are welcomed.
