Pee makes an exhibition of himself

HE hasn’t always been painted in a good light but a master of strokes can change impressions.

Former EU Commissioner and Government minister Padraig Flynn left the political landscape nine years ago but rather than wear out the grass on the golf course or take up obsessive hoovering, he has filled much of his free time adapting his electoral artistry to more cultural pursuits. Swapping the canvass for the canvas, Pee the painter can forget about the worry of being framed by political enemies and concentrate on framing the fruits of his imagination instead.

“I find it very therapeutic,” he has said in the past.
