    Thanks Bea

    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.

  • Bea Jordan

    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. 

  • Kyrle Cahill

    I'd love Burton house but sadly I'm in West Cork at moment and won't be back till early June, Sorry Bea

  • Michael Keogh

    Always interested Bea. Also, I can arrange Irish National Stud whenever that might suit. 

  • Bea Jordan

    That’s great Michael. When is the best time to go there. Are weekends busy?

  • Norah Blount

    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

  • Bea Jordan

    Delighted you have joined our group Norah. You are most welcome. Any ideas ? So many lovely places. 

  • Norah Blount

    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).

  • Bea Jordan

    You are very welcome Caroline. Please suggest any painting locations you may have discovered. Is anyone available for mid week. 

  • Bea Jordan

    Would Sallins suit anyone?

  • Norah Blount

    Sallins is lovely, have you anyday in mind Bea ?
