Rose Petal Picking My mum used to make jam filled doughnuts. They were the most delicious doughnuts I ever tasted and her secret was that she would add wild rose petals to the jam.There was a pink wild rose growing in our neighbourhood so whenever she was making jam...

Staying home. Here I am writing this post at the end of April, when I should be spending most of my time outdoors, creating or seeking inspiration. Walking, taking pictures but now, like everyone else, I'm confined to quarters. As the pandemic started I was staying...

Day 14 of my April project. Wexford Town from photo by lovely Kate @kittyamond1
My favourite from this series so far - it is not a surprise - water, boats, reflections and lots of colour.
Any suggestions for next location?

I have used my own photo which was taken while it was raining and reimagined it in the lovely evening light, can you tell? 😊

Day 11 of my April priject.
This is from the photo by @kittyamond1, thanks Kate for sending it to me, I loved painting it!
I'm the least confident with colour green. In fact I haven't used green in my paintings for many years as I just didn't like how it looked like. 2 years ago on my holidays I have done many sketches in green. We were staying in a lovely house with a private access to the lake surrounded by trees. I used to take a paddle boat to the middle of the lake and sketch from it. And there was green everywhere, the trees around the lake and the reflections of it in the water. I felt trapped by green but took on the challenge! Now I feel so much more confident with colour green, and it's about time I start recording in paintings hundreds of shades of green around me. After all I do live in Ireland.

Day 10 of my April project and my first plein air of the year!
I arrived in Cahore this morning to go for a walk but ended up painting most of my day on the beach - there was a low tide and I just couldn't resist. 😊

Day 9, Goat Island, co. Waterford, suggested by @life_on_hushabye_farm. I have never been to this stunning beach, but really loved exploring it on Google! Definitely will have to visit it one day, hopefully with my easel!

Day 7 of my April project during which I paint places I can't get to during the lockdown. Some suggested by my followers. Duncannon was suggested by @bumblesofrice and this is a photo by Micheal Harpur. I really enjoyed the challenge of painting Duncannon Fort from this perspective. Since drones became so popular we get to see more and more photos taken from the air and I love that we gained a new perspective. I want a drone too. What about you guys? How hard are they to fly?

Day 5 of my April project.
I got an email today asking if I had any paintings of Fethard On Sea. I didn't and now I do! This is from the photo by Micheal Harpur, my own photos weren't great. I got to paint this lovely harbour en plein air, hopefully soon!

Is there a place you'd like to see painted? I'm looking for photos of places I can't go to now because of restrictions.
