Come On You Girls In Green! 🇮🇪

Photo of a window with a painting of the Irish tricolour, a harp and Denise O'Sullivan playing football. It also says COYGIG on the painting. The sign 'Con's Shop' is above the window. And Irish colour bunting frames the window at the top.
Photo of a second window painting of the Cork and Irish flags, and a portrait of Denise O'Sullivan with the Women's World Cup trophy under her. The text reads: Your Neighbour. Your Country. Denise & Team, Best Wishes from Con's Shop. Above the window is the sign 'O'Leary's, Est. 1973'.
Collage showing two close ups of each painting. The right is of the Denise O'Sullivan painting of her playing football, with the acronym COYGIG painted to the right of her. It stands for 'Come On You Girls In Green'. The left is of the Denise portrait with the World Cup trophy under her. Text reads: Your Neighbour. Your Country. Denise & Team, Best Wishes from Con's Shop.

I recently got a great opportunity to design and paint a local shop's windows, in support of the Irish women's football team for the FIFA Women's World Cup. It's the very first time ever that Ireland has qualified for it. And player Denise O'Sullivan is a relative of the shop's owners, so this made designing and painting these even more special.

A massive thank you to my mam who helped me paint the text, background colours and touch ups. Otherwise this would have taken me a lot longer to finish!

If you're in the northside of Cork City anytime soon, make sure to head up to Con's Shop to check them out for yourself!
