Result of my day trip to Greystones yesterday. Onl

Result of my day trip to Greystones yesterday. Only 45min drive from Gorey and, would you believe it, it was my first time in Greystones. So many interersting places to paint and sketch, loved the marina and the view from the marina board walk. The harbour beach is great and the harbour plaza, also cute shopfronts there. But I picked the view from above The Cove beach to paint. Got beautiful (and quickly changing) evening light and I could also see the Dalkey with Martello tower catching the low light. At least I think it was Dalkey, let me know if I'm wrong. But I didn't have a brush small enough to stick it there so I might just add it in the studio. Happy painter here ☺🎨

Some paintings take me a bit longer than others. Take this one, it only took me about 7 months... I started it one day last summer, the weather was good but I was not, I wasn't feeling the best and I don't know whether I transferred this to the painting but to me it was never finished, there was something missing or wrong with it so I put it to one side and moved on to the next. Then a few days ago I dug it out and looked at it with eyes anew and figured it out, and voila, a few hours later we have the finished article. Good things come to those who wait! 😁

I sketched this morning in Courtown. This is mixed media, which basically means I used what I had at hand: coloured pencils, inks, oil pastel, dry pastel, markers.
Whatever I do, paint or sketch, I seem to have a need to put in as much colour as I can and as a result my sketches look very like my paintings. Anyway, loved the birds sitting on the electric line, a subject that I may have missed if I were painting instead! 🐦

There was an evening last week where the sun shone and the evening seemed to stretch out and it got me looking forward to spring and summer and nice beach days, so let's head down the 'Road to Cahore', it's not that far away....

Despite the less-than-ideal weather forecast, I had planned to spend the week painting outdoors, trying to find moments of clear weather to do so. Yesterday was a sunny and perfect day, so I decided to head to Cahore to set up for plein air painting. However, the wind was too strong and it was impossible to paint, so I decided to take a walk instead. Today, unfortunately, the weather was wet and grey, so I hadn't even tried to venture outside with my easel - I was grateful to have a studio to fall back on.

This is of course from my imagination - I have painted so many times in Ballymoney that I can almost visualize it in any type of weather and time of day. And this is what I chose to imagine today!

Fingers crossed for the rest of the week! 🤞☀
