The great Irish landscape painter Terence P FlanaganÌýwhen he received an hononary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts (DFA)Ìýfrom the University of Ulster at the end of last week.

He had said to me the day before that he was nervous about the occasion. Being in the spotlight. But doesn't he look proud?

He got the title surrounded by family and friends, including his greatest fan his much loved wife Sheila, but also surrounded by many of his early works which are on show in the Ormeau Baths Gallery as part of a selected exhibition "Correspondences".

And there will be more from Dr. Flanagan in the late summer. The FE McWIlliam Gallery outside Banbridge will host new work in August,Ìýwhich TP saidÌýhe was going toÌýconcentrate on when all theÌýfuss had died down! Ìý
