I mentioned in a recent post that I was experimenting with acrylics, especially for bigger paintings. Here is one just finished (the stove is not lighting, its just so that you can get an idea of the size). It is Tramore of course, but has no title just yet. I want to thank Brendan StJohns Photography for posting up some lovely photos and for his permission to use some as references. I have lots of photos (and paintings) of Tramore, but dawn always presents a challenge (as in its usualy early in the day!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year draws to a close, I want to thank everyone who supported my endevours by buying my paintings. I had exhibitions in Tramore, Portumna and Thomastown, and here in Stoneyford. It was my best year yet. Lots of plans for next year – watch out for my exhibition in the Watergate in Kilkenny in Feb\/March, which will be all watercolours, and come and see me in Thomastown during Arts Week. I will be including acrylics, for the first time, in my exhibition during Arts week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, I have tidied up my studio, and put everything away, until the new year. I am hoping for a quiet and a happy Christmas, with my family and I wish you all the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
