Our back yards at Everywhere

March 19, 2020 to April 30, 2020
As we are all confined now to our local areas, I thought I would go out and try a few local scenes, or maybe make the most of the back garden and try to get out and sketch or paint - it could be a few weeks before we can meet up safely again. It would be nice to see something from each others homes and areas. Maybe posting them here might give us the incentive as I know a lot of us are not following any daily challenges etc on Social Media, take careSee More

"Kyrle, these are all beautiful, I think this is my favourite, your way of making such a variety of marks is inspiring. I hope everyone stays in their cars or homes, its hard to keep people away when they see an easel set up, take care, Norah"

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…

I was only out a couple of times with the group, at Sandycove and Cabinteely a couple of years ago, but hope to do more.

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.
