SUMMER EXHIBITIONS

The summer exhibitions have started. I was exhibiting on the Malahide Tennis Club Railings this bank holiday week end.  First day there were about 9 of us exhibiting, weather wise it was mixed, overcast and not that warm.  Not as many people about as we thought, but a lot of things happening in Dublin this weekend so people can’t be everywhere.  Monday weather was much better and warmer.  More people about but they were just interested in buying ice cream unfortunately.  Lots of friendly people though stopped for a chat and reminised about some of the places we had in the paintings.IMG_1688

I also went to a workshop on portraits in Kennedys Art supplies with P.J. Lynch Illustrator.  My friend Angela came with me and together with about 8 other people we had a very informative day painting Des. Learning new techniques and basically surprising ourselves at the results of our days tuition. We broke for lunch and ate it in the St.Stephens Green, plenty of scope for live drawing there.

Also one more Sunday on the railings in Malahide, the weather was so good I decided to give it another go and see if anyone was out there was in the mood for buying artwork.  There were a lot more sales this time including one of mine I was delighted. There was a slight breeze and this made the heat bareable.

    Hi Yvonne, I love your blog. I enjoyed last Saturday with P.J. Lynch too. It was good learning to paint from a different point of view. Although difficult, it was good trying new techniques.
    I am delighted Sunday was productive for you. You work hard at your art and it is great when someone shows their appreciation by buying some of your work. Good on ya Yvonne.

    I love the photo of you selling your work at the park, it reminds me of dad selling at St. Stephens Green. He would be so proud of you.
