OMG Patrick, what did you leave out?

Looks like you got the nerves…

As sometimes happens our group was small today but what it lacked in quantity is had in quality.  Anna is missing from the photograph.

Its always difficult to get a meeting place for Clogherhead.  However, Forge Field Farm Shop and Coffee Shop in Termonfeckin fulfilled the need beautifully.  Again, we neglected to get a group photo.  Had we done so it would have featured Anna, Sean, Gerry, David, Michael, John McManus, Colm and myself. 

I can’t help noticing a gender imbalance in the last two…

Regrettably we neglected to get a group photo of the painters who turned out today. I have no ‘action shots’ either so if anyone else can supply some please do.

The usual Saturday date had to be postponed because of a forecast of terrible weather.  So we met on Sunday 14t^h June.   The weather on Sunday was glorious.

Six and a half Boyne Valleyers turned up – Sean, David, Phil Hofler, Gerry Smyth, first-time-;painting-with-us Brendan and…

Marja and Vallerie take a break.... outta the wind...

While John adds some finishing touches....…

Back last Saturday 30th May 2015 by popular demand to Sonairte, near Laytown, Co Meath.  A great crowd turned up, and missing from the photo are Kay Martin, Valerie Syms Martin, Phil Holfer & David Goldberg.  Hoping I left no one out!  A very cold and windy day, but there is no stopping P.E.B.V. - we paint in all weathers! 

Great to see…

went back up there yesterday and painted on the river in the morning trying to finish a piece. And in the afternoon I started a pic of the garden but needs a lot more work. So I hope to make it on Saturday.

Getting ready for the "off"  - Sheila, Lisa, John, Karen, Dee, Michael. And the sun is just about to oblige.....

Thanks to Dee for the photographs.  I'm really sorry to have missed another great day.

All the straight-out-of-the oven scones have been demolished.  Sorry I missed them.  Great to see Paddy again, also in the picture Caroline, Sean, Anna, Dee, Kay, Bob and Roisin.  Not in the picture David, Michael, Paul, John McManus and two new…

At least twelve of us fell for Sean's Bluebell propaganda and turned up in Ardgillan today.  However he did find a glade of bluebells and the image below shows proof of him collecting poof of bluebells.  We had a truly great day and he used his influence to ensure beautiful weather.  Thanks Sean.
