'A Storytelling'
Opening this week at Naul Village, Dublin
A solo exhibition exploring the everyday lives and characters of our native wildlife.
A storytelling is the collective noun for a group of rooks, especially in the evening time when they are settling in for the night with their noisy chatter, probably discussing all the days events!
The exhibition runs until August so lots of time to see it if you're in the area over the summer months 💕

Plein air painting today in Kilcornan Walled gardens, a beautiful place.
I did a wonderful workshop with the brilliant Jenny Aitken, then we went and painted our own.
I was happy with the result as I'm a bit rusty with the oils but hoping to get them out a lot more now over the summer!

Such a fantastic opening night for last evening. A beautiful sunny evening in Dublin and a lovely happy feeling.
The work there has to be seen in person, it's really outstanding!!
Delighted to see my two hares with red dots by the end of the evening.
