Boyne Valley PE at Applegreen filling station on N51 between Slane and Navan

Anyone like me not going to Louth plein air? Will you join me and paint at Stackallen Weir? We can meet for coffee at the Apple Green filling station on the M 51 SLANE NAVAN Road at 11 am. It might be a good idea to bring flask and refreshments also. Let me know if you’re coming in case we have to cancel.To get to Stackallen Bridge from Applegreen go back a few hundred yards towards Slane and turn right onto the L3411 . Go over the bridge and turn right and you should find us along there…See More

Boyne Valley Painters at McBrides Mace filling station

May 17, 2025 from 11am to 3pm

Good morning friends. By popular demand we are going back to Stackallen Bridge and weir this Saturday. I suggest we meet as usual at 11 but this time in the nearby Mace filling station. Takeaway coffee is available also “hot plate”. There is a picnic table outside and toilets are available. It is known locally as McBride‘s. To get there from SLANE take NAVAN Road as we did last week but instead of turning left for the bridge continue for another few yards McBrides is on your right. And/or bring…See More

Plein Eire Boyne Valley at the RHA Dublin

Sally, Michelle, Bernadette, Anna, Frank, Noel and Brian at the RHA today with Franks sculpture (Noel and Brian, sorry you missed the photo). A photo or words do not do Frank's sculpture justice so it is well worth a visit. The whole exhibition is wonderful this year. Kate Began's wonderful Monaghan landscape in oils stands out in the gallery too, wonderful to see in life. I am looking forward to a 2nd visit. I didnt get photos of the wonderful detail so if anyone wants to add in photos here…

Its dystopian and I'm saying no more.
