This Sunday we will meet at 2pm inside the main door of the National

Museum on Kildare Street. Meet again at 4pm for some coffee at the cafe

in the Museum. There are lots of exhibits in the Museum - something for

everyone! It has been ages since we have visited so I'm sure it will be

great to take a good look around.



Everyone welcome - if you haven't met up with us before just have a sketchpad in your hand and you'll be spotted!



Enjoy!

6"x6" oil on linen panel

One of the dog paintings I am working on for the holiday season.

Hi all!



This Sunday we will visit the Science Gallery - as we haven't visited in ages. We will meet up at 2pm inside the main doors and immerse ourselves in their Green Machine project which sounds really interesting!



All newcomers welcome - should be a different day out and the Science Gallery have been very inviting so I'm sure it will be a lovely day.



Enjoy!

This is the painting reworked from Sunday. I have telegraph poles too but you can't actually see them. It's just tentatively "abstract" but I got great satisfaction from the day and the reworking on Monday.

Hi all,



This Sunday we will meet at the Merrion Square entrance to the National Art Gallery - at 2pm. This is the entrance to the older part of the Gallery and from there you can disperse and enjoy whichever areas of the Gallery you wish. Others may wish to spend time outdoors in Merrion Square - up to you!

Meet up again at 4pm at the lovely café over in the new wing of the Gallery.



Hope to see you…

Meet at 2pm inside the main entrance and meet up again at 4pm for coffee in the cafe.



Hopefully the discussion regarding the possible change in time can be discussed

and we can decide whether or not to change it to 1pm for the winter

period,… Read on...
