Post pics of paintings with Uilleann pipers for us all to study and enjoy. This would be a would be a good place to collet them.
Hows about pipe related drink holders (coasters). For many of us, these are almost as important as the bloody instrument (or at least what these HOLD is!)
This stuff is more or less what I had in mind.

I know, I know. But we ain’t all as talented as yerself now…some of us gotta settle for the beauty of the coaster under our pints. OK, I gotta settle… LOL Brilliant work nevertheless! You need to post that here of course!
These come from http://www.prydein.com/pipes/. Oh darn, now I see that Glands had most of the ones I found in his album already but I’ll leave them here for now. The first engraving is the one that, as David says below, is of pastoral pipes instead of uilleann pipes. I will leave it here because it caused understandable confusion when I removed it.

Hi Cynth
The first one looks like a pastoral set
David
Okay, thanks David, I’d better study up. It was my favorite one too!
I like the three musican print and the piper with the red hands; although my take would be one with more delicate fingers (less red- but may be its a take on the red hand) but this is my first published critique. 
I’m really taken with the three musicans-lively; with movement- you could hear the music come jump out of the print.
..
The one of Haverty? There’s a popping strap in evidence. Never heard that suggestion before, what makes you say that?
Bill
It is an uilleann/union bagpipe.
It is also one of my favorite piping
images.
I found this one
Painter: Willie Cunningham
I like the paintings of Brian Vallely
another JB Vallely
oops
I noticed these are in Glands album too
sorry
I know these are etchings, but some interesting images here.
This is a great etching of a piper’s hands. I particularly like
the use of lighting in this image. Note the lower hand where the flats
of the fingers are used, where as the tips of the fingers are used
with the upper hand. Look at it long enough, and I swear yoiu
can see them move.
my own copy of a vallely
poor light conditions
If you’re going to show the artwork, you should credit the artist.
This is the work of Norman Stiff of Elora, Ontario. His website: http://www.normanstiff.com
Bill, I took the picture David was commenting on down thereby causing a lot of confusion. It is one that Joseph has put up, but I am going to put it up again so that there won’t be this confusion in the thread. And then you can see if you agree with David.
Hi Cynth
Thanks for putting it back up and saving the confusion.
I had another look at your pictures and, if the painting is accurate to scale, then, given the length of the foot of the chanter, I think that the Itinerant Irish piper is playing a pastoral chanter as well.
billh - what do you think?
