Tintern Picnic Paintout at Tintern Abbey
July 5, 2020 all day
TINTERN ABBEY PICNIC PAINTOUT 5/720There is plenty of space throughout the extensive grounds of Tintern for us to paint safely while social distancing. I’m not sure if the tea rooms will be open (and I plan to avoid them anyway) so bring your flask, lunch, water and something to sit on if needed.Don’t forget to pack your hand sanitizer, mask and 2 metre stick to prod anyone who comes too close ;) In all seriousness it might be best to stay off the main pathways unless you plan to wear your…See More

Making an Exhibition of Myself!
I have an exhibition running at the moment in the Cedars Hotel, Rosslare Strand (continues until 29th September), and to draw attention to it, I've decided to paint occasionally in the hotel lobby. I did my first session last Wednesday afternoon and got this far after about three hours or so (the painting is 20" x 24" oil on canvas - I'm using a small plein air study as a reference - the scene is near the Blasket Interpretive Centre in West Kerry):-…

Another Studio Painting from Plein Air Reference

Some Studio Work from Plein Air Reference
I started to so some larger studio paintings from plein air reference material a few weeks ago. I've been concentrating on not just copying plein airs on a larger scale (nigh impossible anyway), but rather embellishing them by doing things like adding figures, playing around with texture, and using varying brushstrokes. These are my most recent three:-
Summer Morning, Coumeenoole (West Kerry)
(24" x 18" Oil on Canvas)

Hi Michael... It wasn't me who mentioned it, but Tullow does have a riverside walk. If it helps, I can go and do a recce re access and parking as I don't live far from there. Unfortunately I won't be able to join you all for this Sunday, or next, as my one and only nephew is coming over to visit us, so fingers crossed for the one after.

Hi Michael,
Many thanks for making me so welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed our paint out at Johnstown Castle but was unfortunately unable to go to Curracloe due to a tummy bug. I'm looking forward to meeting you all again at the next paint out.
