Clogherhead Co.Louth at Beach car park at 11am

November 13, 2021 all day

The weather forecast for sat looks promising. Meet at the beach car park at 11am. The coffee shack has outdoor tables and chairs. Bring a flask, seat, mask and your covid passport for anyone who wants to have coffee inside. There are toilets both at the beach and up at the pier. There is also outdoor coffee facilities at the pier. The car park at the pier is elevated so enables painting from your car if cold. There is a re-cycling bin at the beach car park for coffee cups etcSee More

Covid 19 Howth virtual paint-out

This is one I found in my pile of un-finished paintings from Dublin Plein Air festival, I have tried to touch up some of it but I took no photos so I will wait till I can return out there some day to catch some of the deep colours I remember on the rocks in front of me. I remember the tide was coming in fast and I had to move Looking forward to trying a few from photos later today, take care all…

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…

Its dystopian and I'm saying no more.
