Sorry to miss to-morrow's paint-out in Botanics but I have a bad head cold and despite the fact that Botanics is just round corner from me I won't make it.  Hope it's not too cold for you all although I have a feeling bad weather does not deter many of you.  Hope I'm not going to be a fair weather painter - it remains to be seen.    Enjoy your day.  Eileen.

A very successful paint out took place at Drumcliffe Sligo. Thanks to Meg Leahy who organised it!…

A new venue for SEPA,  Ballycross Apple Farm didn't disappoint, with a great farm yard, animals, and landscape to choose from. The tea and waffles helped also, to refuel in between paintings :)

I have an exhibition running at the moment in the Cedars Hotel, Rosslare Strand (continues until 29th September), and to draw attention to it, I've decided to paint occasionally in the hotel lobby. I did my first session last Wednesday afternoon and got this far after about three hours or so (the painting is 20" x 24" oil on canvas - I'm using a small plein air study as a reference - the scene is near the Blasket Interpretive Centre in West Kerry):-…
