Well done to John McManus and Frank Hallinan Flood especially who braved the elements and painted en plein air and plaudits too to the rest of us who retreated to the dubious comfort of a glasshouse.

Is that a reject from…

While researching one of my favorite landscape painters, William Turner, I learned a little about the back story of one his seascapes which now resides in the John Paul Getty Museum.

I was studying his painting method when I noticed something odd about the painting and discovered that Turner was also a master of hidden messages.…

....................But someone is missing!  We were blissfully unaware that poor Carrie was discovering all the lesser known byways of County Meath between Julianstown and Listoke.  Happily she did make it.…

Another lovely day in Listoke Gardens even more glorious than the last one. Big welcome back to Catriona. Full marks to Caitriona, with her new hip, and to Rita, with her very new knee, for coming. Glad we had such a lovely day especially for them.

Susan, not in photograph, is elsewhere 'finishing off her ducks'??? How did you get on…

And the coffee and blackberry pie was great…

P.E,B,V, at the HIll of Tara, Co. Meath 29th August 2015.  We all had a great day in between two very heavy showers

which probably helped my painting! Great to see everyone today, especially Kay and Rita and a new member Carrie.
