How long it takes to finish a painting and a privilege of buying art
privilege of buying art I have never bought an original piece of art. Shocked? It's not because I don't want to, of course I do! I am a painter, I love art , I look at art either online or in galleries every single day, and not because I have to, but because I want...
Studio Update
Studio update It's been over a month now since the official opening of my studio and it is fair to say that I am well settled in! To begin with in December i was open 6 days a week but since the new year I changed opening times (see below) to accommodate morning...
2018 Recap
2018 So a few days late but the time has come to say goodbye to the year that was 2018. How does one measure or assess a year? We all have our own ways whether it be checking bank balances or even counting any extra lines on your brow! But for me it's what I've...
Studio Move
Studio Move It's 4 years since I decided to become a full time artist. At the time I needed to revamp my website and also design a logo. I went with Kate Kos Studio as I thought at the time that I'd soon be moving out of my spare bedroom to a brand new studio...

Art In The Open 2018 and Bronze Award
AITO 2018 Art in The Open is definitely one of the highlights of my art year. I seriously love this festival, and always look forward to when it starts. It's great for so many reasons but for me one of the best parts is the people. Old faces and new ones alike, it's...
Dublin Plein Air Painting Festival 2018
A week of joy! It's about two weeks now since Dublin Plein Air Painting Festival ended but this is the first real chance I've had to sit down and gather my thoughts. It would be so easy just to say it was a fun week and well done to all involved but that'd be like...
Watercolor v Acrylic
Golden Waves Although at this stage I'm painting with watercolor for over 10 years, and on the other hand acrylic is a relatively new adventure for me, I can honestly say that i love both acrylic and watercolor equally. Acrylic lets me work on one piece for longer,...
Herd
Deer Painting As I was finishing this picture, Paul was passing my studio and when he saw it he commented something like: -We're painting fantasy now? This comment surprised me but when I stood back and looked I could see where he was coming from. While not completely...
