Let’s get out in the open air and paint, draw , chat and exchange tips. A group for artists using any medium based in Kildare and beyond. All levels of experience welcome .
I was just now talking to Noel Hayes , I'd like the Robertstown canal area, (next week I will be able to travel). My best time is during the week (mid week ideally). All I ever need is take away coffee, nearby loo, shelter from the storm. Being in shouting distance of fellow artists is perfect. I'm now 2 weeks after my first vaccination and keep social distancing so all good for getting out I think.
Anyone interested in painting at Burtown House . Lovely gardens . Peaceful place. Home of the late wonderful botanical artist Wendy Walsh. Also her daughter artist Lesley Fennel.
It looks like a great location. Ill be starting to get out again in a few weeks hopefully, I was going to try nearby Castletown House as there are porta loos there as well as take away coffee etc. Hopefully we will all be out safely again soon
Loads, the canals - Hazelhatch, Sallins, Castletown, Maynooth but these are mostly in North Kildare which might be far to travel. I live in Leixlip and often paint locally midweek when able (recovering still from broken wrist so carrying stuff is a pain lol).
