Phillip Morrison
Solo Exhibition
Morrison in Galway
Opening by Cormac McConnell
on Thursday May 29th
@ 6.00pm
“My art is all about the way colour reacts to each other and the way in which line comes into the mix to create interesting shapes and dynamism. Accuracy isn’t as important as catching the spirit or essence of a place or be it a person. I enjoy breaking the rules of perspective bringing distant objects back towards the viewer when it should still be going away. I enjoy creating impossible images. I try to do with my painting what a musician does with sound, in fact I see music in my paintings, the lines in the sky have a musicality to them and for me the colours sitting next to each other are like the way notes follow each other.”

Bold Horoscopes
Aries
Something has changed, even if everything is still the same. You are in a very different place today, but the only thing that's really new is your attitude. Nevertheless, that is enough to fill your sails with sufficient wind power to get you to your desired destination, the art. Don't wait to take action or you could miss your opportunity to find the right painting!
Taurus
Although you may feel good about what you are doing, you might not be as sure of yourself as you were for the past few days. It's not that your certainty was unfounded; it's just that you probably hadn't considered all your options yet. Your confidence will return in a few days.
Gemini
Your emotions can pull you all over the map this month, making it hard to follow through with your original plan. Instead of fighting the winds of change, be open enough to see where they take you. But you may need to let go of your expectations, for you probably won't get as much done as you wish. The payoff, however, is that you could discover something about yourself that will be of great value later on.
Cancer
You may feel as if you are running out of steam, whether or not you have reached your goal. Something important is about to shift, but this doesn't mean you can't finish your work. Trying to speed up your productivity won't be effective because sloppiness won't be rewarded. The truth is that you have more time than you realize. Enjoy it!
Leo
Anticipation may be making you crazy now because you are ready to have some fun, but you're going to have to wait. Instead of leaving work early or taking a long lunch with everyone else, you must be the responsible one today and set the example for others to follow. Patience, Leo; it will be your turn to play soon enough.
Virgo
Although you might not be as focused as you like, your mind is on taking care of business nonetheless. You want to come through for your boss, but you might already be overworked and too busy to take on an extra job right now. Don't judge yourself too harshly; just do the best you can, even if your performance is not as perfect as you wish. Your extra effort will not go unnoticed.
Libra
Although the day might start out on a sour note, everything becomes easier throughout the day. Instead of turning down an opportunity in the morning, postpone any important decisions until the afternoon, when you'll be feeling more positive about life's possibilities. Just remember that a good attitude isn't enough; you must translate your thoughts into constructive action.
Scorpio
You are ready to tackle an unpleasant task today as if it was no big deal. Perhaps you understand that the potential for reward is great if you are willing to get down and dirty. Stay open to where the detours of the day will steer you, for you could end up somewhere very special -- even if it's totally different from your original destination.
Sagittarius
A fast-talking friend or partner could have you saying "yes" or even signing the contract on a dubious deal before you have time to do your research. Take whatever sense of urgency is explained to you with a grain of salt, for the real opportunities won't vanish as quickly as they appear. Step back from the pressure of the sales pitch and consider all your options before making a commitment you may regret.
Capricorn
Having so many thoughts so quickly can be a bit disconcerting to you, for you like to be more methodical in your analysis. Today, however, there just isn't time to follow each idea to its logical conclusion. Accept that you won't be able to make practical use of your brilliance now. Instead, let your brain loose and watch the show without attempting to capture any single thought.
Aquarius
This can be a perfectly delightful day as long as you don't try to explain your strategy to anyone else. You are working at a deeply intuitive level now and you probably won't be able to justify your choices. Instead of wasting time talking, put all your available energy into doing.
Pisces
Although you aren't much different today than on any other day, others may believe that you have magical superpowers. All it takes is acting on the right hunch and being ahead of the pack. It really isn't rocket science that puts you out front; it's your ability to lead because you somehow already know what's going to happen.
