Event Description

Come and join me this coming Saturday to paint in the lovely town of Ardee in the wee county.  Originally called Atherdee, its name comes from the irish Ath Fhirdia – the forth of Ferdia, from the mythological four day battle between Cuchulainn and Ferdia for the defence of Ulster from Queen Maeve of Connacht.  Ferdia fell after four days of battle and is buried on the southern banks of the river Dee.  There is a beautiful bronze in the car park (the photo I used for the event) and you can park here and draw or paint from the shelter of your car in the car park which is across the road from our meeting point - Muldoons bar and restaurant.  There is a lovely riverside walk for those who like a quieter places, as well as busy street views including the castle.  If you drive out any of the roads you will find plenty of vistas and of course you will all be familiar with the Turfman from Ardee so nicely sung by Dermot O'Brien, so you can find your way out to the bog . There is also a few  castles, the jumping church, an out of use train station which may be of interest so I hope there will be something for all who venture to this our first time meeting in Ardee.
