Let's head into the West to seek art and other treasures

Here's a sneak preview of two days of sales taking place in Connemara from this August bank holiday Monday 

'Claddagh Cottages, Feeding the Hens' by Kenneth Webb at Dolan's.

ART, antique furniture, collectibles and toys will all come under the hammer at Dolan's two-day summer auction in Connemara on bank holiday Monday and on August 4. The sales, which are online-only this year, will get underway at 12.30pm on both days.

The art on offer ranges from contemporary work by John Shinnors to some Connemara scenes by Kenneth Webb. There is a wide range of both established and emerging artists and no shortage of landscapes from the hugely scenic area around Ballyconneely like a watercolour entitled Market Day, Roundstone by Lady Kate Dobbin.
