Sally Downey

why am I the ONLY one with a green spot???

I guess you must just be lucky.

....what green spot, Sally?

I'm glad to report your prognosis is good, Sally. I'd like to spin you a yarn about your being our most environmentally responsible member but the truth is the green dot just indicates you are currently online. Mine is on now, as I type. tbh, it was a new one on me. I hadn't noticed it myself until you mentioned it.

Thanks a mil sally, must be something about the differant line. Love the pics!!!!!! Must get some up too!!!

Dear Sally, we are very pleased to meet with you too. We have same nice photographs of you and the other friends. I will upload as soon as I can. I am working on some paintings for the Bath exhibition. You can see the entries at www.thebathprize.co.uk. Simon and I like very much your paintings there is a beautifully calm and peaceful atmosphere in them. Kind regards

Hi Sally, Thanks for the kind commenton my paintings , great to meet you and Genia in Wexford. I thought your landscape rendered with a palette knife was excellent. I have tried to paint in plein air with it, as it is such a useful tool for capturing the immediacy of light and colour, but have always failed miserably . Tom

Hi Sally, it was lovely meeting and chatting to you in wexford . I've also been thinking I've met you before hand, perhaps at one of the sketchers meetups - I've a terrible memory for when and where sometimes, but you seemed familiar already. Any ideas?
Regards,
James

Was only there for 2 days Sally and didnt go to any of the evening events, spent some time sketching but not around Wexford town. I am trying out plein-air in oils as I mostly just sketch and getting used to painting outdoors is a whole new skill, hope to see you at one of the paint-outs maybe the Dublin group which would be not too far to travel

Hi Sally your slides are very good, fabulous work.. I completed my entry
into the Bath website.. Bath is beautiful place to visit, I hope next year we go altogether there.. I started to sketch in our back garden with pastel for a change and it is very convenient to paint there, before the autumn comes )) how is your painting going?

Painting "like a mad thing without direction"! Sounds like me!!

Thanks Sally, I'm glad you like my stuff, its very kind of you to say. The ariel perspective is just luck really because of where I'm living. If you like to see more I have archived the last few years of my stuff here feel free to look any time.

Hi Sally, yes lovely to have met you too. No have'nt heard from colette yet,looking forward to hearing from her.
Your paintings are lovely, love the one with the red roof in the park,nicely impressionistic.
Still looking out for an easel with box. See you soon

Thank you sally,i agree, graveyards are quite peaceful. No trouble with the neighbours.The celtic cross against the blue sky,did it.

Hi Sally,

Hows the painting going?Any plans for this weekend?Are you free this saturday ?

Great paintings in your album, love them all.

Chat soon,

Dee.

Wow...................well done Sally .Yesterdays painting looks fantastic.

I think its more like years of theory rather than years of practice.So grateful to have the oppertunity to paint with you guys.Thank you.

Niel is in Gweedor ,checking it out. He should be back later today, I think he will be in contact, then.

work looks great. Really sorry to have missed it. But shall def be there next week.

Hi Sally - glad to hear the 6 Steps are uppermost in your creative mind!

Yes Wexford is looming at this stage - and I'm looking forward to the week.  See you there. Regards til then. John

Hi Sally,
