Great Day Out, In  Monknewtown Community Hall, and environs,  Some Still Life, Printmaking, and Plein Air, Thanks Sally…

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…

Hope all enjoyed the day yesterday.
