October is the last month of Autumn. Winter brings a different pace of life, for me – more time in my studio. Time to think about next year, themes and media, some experimenting and some planning and organising. My first big exhibition of next year will be in Tramore in May, and so I am working towards that. I am toying with the title – Low tide, Green grass. I have painted the Waterford coast at low tide many times, I especially like the coastal light and how reflections of cliffs, rocks and clouds appear in the wet sand and in the the pools left on the beach, by the receding tide.
But first ….. in October I have my solo exhibition at the Gallery at Portumna Castle. It is a big space, and I will have thirty paintings or more, mostly marine, including many scenes of around Lough Derg itself. See some of these under the tab ‘recent work’ on this website. Lough Derg is a favourite place of mine. All watercolours, framed under glass.
So, if you are in the area do pop in – I will be there in person on Fridays and Saturdays, but the exhibition is open all days. There is a nice cafe on the site, and lovely walks in the forest park, and a new walk along the shore to the swimming area. Fancy a day out?
