"That sounds like a great project Kyrle, did you look up the pasta maker, U picked up a lino kit for about 28 euro in Evan's and it's great starter kit including black ink.

Following on from last saturdays brilliant demo (thank you Kyrle), we thought we might meet in Dublin and go shopping for print supplies in Evans. Alternatively there is the Hugh Lane Gallery or the National gallery but weather permitting there are great oppurtunities for sketching down around Evans art, gather lots of sketches and inspiration for your print making. We meet at 11am at Wynns Hotel in the Saints and Scholars lounge before heading off.See More

Boyne Valley painting for Snowflakes, Monknewtown 23/11/19 at Community Hall
November 23, 2019 from 11am to 3:30pm
Are you a snowflake or a REAL painter. Well this week you can be both. There is a terrible forecast for Saturday. So we have secured the use of a cosy hall near Slane. Kyrle has promised to give us a demonstration of all he knows about printing. And there will be opportunity and space to do a still life. There has to be a small contribution for the hall. So bring your painting gear and whatever food you may need to sustain you for the afternoon.to get there: via Finglas to Slane (N2) orM/1…See More

Visit to Sorolla exhibition National Gallery
A wonderful exhibition, worth a few return visits. I didnt get a group photograph but I think Kyrle did - you can add it on here if you like Kyrle. A few of us tried sketching in Merrion Sq afterwards and Kevin went to great extremes to find a few roofs to paint in the city centre…

Hi Norah. speaking of Second Sleep, I heard an interesting interview between Tubridy and Robert Harris the author who has just written a novel called just that. it has an interesting twist, its out on kindle and I just got it this minute. Its dystopian and I'm saying no more.

Hi Norah
you never disturbed me at all it was a pleasure to chat. I had the best time there, I have not enjoyed painting as much in a long long long time, I will definitely do more as soon as there is a paint out, I'll make sure I'm on it.

- Hi Nora, my name might be familiar to you because my brothers-in-law & sisters-in-law live in Leixslip. Patsy & Elma(yoga teacher) have moved now but we used to visit them in Leixslip.

Hi Nora I see you might attend Woodville House paint out tomorrow. It is nowhere near Wells House. As you arrive in New Ross from the Kilkenny side i.e. over the bridge, go straight ahead into the main street, turn left at the 98 monument and keep on that road. There will be a junction to your right about a mile?? down that road and a pub called the Ferry Inn. The entrance to Woodville is just beyond that on your right. Hope to see you.
If you coming from Wexford side turn right at the roundabout and follow the road straight til it joins the above road at the Ferry Inn.
