Event Description
Because we can't meet face-to-face, this is a Digital Virtual Paint-out for the Howth area , no matter where in Ireland, people live, with imagery we can access online in our own homes. Howth has a lot to offer with 2 lighthouses, a harbour with lots of colourful boats, a customs house, a martello tower and there's also a Howth castle.
And we have a week to produce a result. Participants can find their own inspirational images online, and because the source is digital, people from around the country can take part. Here are a few links.
First Google Street, where one can travel around in a virtual manner.

Sally, that's good stuff from Samuel Ferguson. Describing the "sea-bird song" as "clanking" is very apt. . Is that onomatopeia? People look down on seagulls, and I personally consider them the most graceful bird of all - the way they soar and gracefully glide.
Joe, I'm still working on my Howth Painting, and Denise I don't know much about blogs. And I don't have a microphone yet for Zoom. And daily I
see amazing uses for it - from people getting married to facilitating a
a meeting in the House of Commons.

Sean before you whisk us away to our next magical spot i can’t resist offering these lines by Samuel Fergurson - Aideen’s Grave - about Howth Head.
“The humming of the noon-tide bees,
The lark’s loud carol all day long,
And borne on evening’s salted breeze
Their clanking sea-bird song”.

Yes Sally its hard to find blogs especially if you are using a phone, but the weather is so good, maybe another plein air painting or 2 ? I am tempted to go out in to the fields near me, amazing yellow oil seed in full flower, isnt it 5km from tomorrow and I think plein air painting is safer than cycling or jogging which I see loads doing here in the park
