from the rest of the paintings that I saw was called The Persona of Dreams painted by a man named Eric who was happened to be painting portraits of people to in order make money on the side from his real job as a barber.

The exhibition that I went to see was the Sleepwalkers exhibition in the Hugh Lane Gallery. The exhibition itself consisted of several artists’ work. The three pieces of work that I have observed were by Jim Ricks, Jesse Jones and Clodagh Emoe.
