"Norah this is great. You have represented the day so well here. The sky was that overpowering. I surprised myself by enjoying the day so much. It was a real baptism of wind. How did the druids manage to light the paschal…"

"Thank you Sally and Kyrle, everything needs hard and soft edges both in life and in painting I think. Sometimes it is a change in value rather than an edge in the wrong place. Its all a learning process still. In the feeling of the moment I just go…"

"These are truely wonderful Norah. Very confidentedly done. I don’t know why you are worried about hard lines. Are not a few necessary? All your hard work, discipline and practice has paid off. "

Kyrle Cahill said… 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 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.
