Sarah | DANNY McBRIDE

DANNY McBRIDE  was born in 1951 in Toronto, and has spent all of his working years in the arts as a musician, composer, singer and artist.

First as a musician, composer and songwriter, Danny made world tours with the likes of David Hasselhoff, Chris de Burgh and Joe Cocker. His illustrious music career has netted him several gold and platinum records and a profile that still keeps him newsworthy. In 1996 he wrapped up a US and Taiwan concert tour and began to slow his pace.

Danny, now a painter, moved to British Columbia and began a new phase in his life. He is a self-taught artist whose unique figurative style soon emerged. His acrylic images come alive on canvas in textured still-lifes and smoothly finished ladies in hats. His art is always exciting as he creates scenes that are light-hearted and fun. His images are frequently sculptural in form, with layers of paint built up on the canvas, creating a very textured and bold composition.

His paintings have made a large impact with collectors across North America and Europe.

After the removing the ear, he was still able to hear the screaming of the kids forced to participate but too young to be without an afternoon nap and a bottle as the listening part of the ear was still in tact. He then stuffed his ear canal with cotton and covered it with gauze. This was not enough to drown out the prattle of the tour guide determined to impart 1500 years worth of…

FILOSOFIA POLÍTICA | A Irlanda também já teve o seu perdão de dívida in “Diário de Domingos Amaral”

gasparOra, pergunto eu, porque não renegociar a dívida e baixar a fatura altíssima de juros? Se a Irlanda e a Grécia já o fizeram, porque não o faz Portugal? E, já agora, que sentido faz cortar 4 mil milhões de euros em despesas sociais quando se gastam quase 14 mil milhões nos nossos bancos? A austeridade não se aplica à banca e aos banqueiros?
