The Archbishop Ryan Park is situated in Merrion Square, the Georgian square on the south side of Dublin city center, very near to Baggot Street. The park was called so after Dermot Ryan, a Catholic archbishop who transferred ownership to the city in 1974. The square was leased to the Archdiocese of Dublin in 1930 to permit the building of a Cathedral on the site. In September 2010, it was renamed as Merrion Square Park.
The park contains a statue of Oscar Wilde, many other sculptures and a collection of old Dublin lamp standards. It is a nice place for walking and also for sketching: there are many subjects that can be chosen to draw.
It’s really nice!!!
Good job
Thank you!
Nuno, I’m so impressed by this kind of drawing. It’s so hard for me to do, but you accomplish it with great skill.
Thank you very much. You are so kind. In music my friends usually say practice makes perfect, I guess it is also applicable here. I was reading your latest post. It is amazing. I have a long road ahead of me but meanwhile I try to have fun.
Thanks again!
The curves and the ornaments look fantastic!
The originals are very nice. Some designs are of the 1920s or even older. Really nice park!
Now you will have me looking at lamp posts everywhere! I want one of these along my street!
Thank you, Leslie!
