SEPA Paintout -Sunday 17th/june- The Cornloft Centre

What a great day SEPA had at The CornLoft Centre, Tomsallagh, Ferns Yesterday !

From our approach to the centre, (where signs had been placed at a late hour the previous night, to help us with directions), until the last of the troop left, (well over the allotted time), every effort was made to make our visit most enjoyable.

We were met in the morning with a warm welcome from Rita, Heather, William, and Billy. Given a tour of the wonderful Centre and mature grounds. Then offered refreshments before we started our days painting. Rita and Heather's  home baking was exquisite !!!

Both Rita and Billy are excellent artists themselves. Rita featuring in the well known program "Watercolour Challange",  and Billy being recently awarded first place at the Virgina painting competition , a few weeks ago.

The centre is dotted with inspiring works from artists, who have held workshops or attended workshops, over the last few years. 

Cornloft proved to be a wonderful environment for our group. Painting in close proximity to one another, meant that we chatted , laughed (and of course painted)for the whole day! A beautiful old House , mature garden, farmyard and animals, provided plenty of inspiration, for what must have been nearly thirty artists !!

Even when an unexpected shower of rain arrived..the centre provided shelter (and another cup of tea). 

Cornloft paintout has to be recorded as one of our most enjoyable paint outs ! 

A huge" THANK YOU"  to everyone at Cornloft for the warm hospitality we received yesterday, and for the huge effort made to keep us all refreshed!!

If anyone has photos of the day, that they don't mind sharing, please let me know, so that we can upload them on to SEPA 's album on Pix.ie. Unfortunately my camera was out of action, and I have no images for the wonderful day we had :(
