King William’s Glen

"Thats wonderful Sally, That hint of colour on the windows invites you in from a cold day and the winter tree is lovely in its bareness. Charcoal seems the perfect mediium for this. Its a lovely area around there, very mystical"

Boyne Valley Clogherhead June 22

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.
