Week Ten of the classes has come and gone with incredible speed.Time is flying in the run up to
Christmas. The energy is high as the photos of the children and their art will reflect! I did get a bit of time to work on my own paintings also. The quote of the week is, "Someday your life will pass before your eyes, make sure it's worth watching!"

Week Nine of Classes

We have successfully completed Week Nine of the art classes. I had time to paint my own work as well as make progress on my commissions too.
 Quote of the week , "Sometimes the best thing to that you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best."


 I changed the composition and I think it will work a bit better, more room for her beautiful tail!

 Orla McConneell, one of my students, won a competition!

 Anysia, one of my Leaving Cert students, is working on a beautiful painting of a match burning series image. She has great skill.

 These are Cormac's silver football boots. He is making them for his sister for Christmas ad is quite excited to give them to her!

October Break Week

Hello again! I have been on holidays week now and what a week it has been! I have been dressed as a vampire twice, went to a party sang at a party, went to the Macnas paraade had a party and still found time to paint! I am adding some images I painted a few years ago from Tom Giblin's Gathering which is coming up again this November 18 weekend. I also put up an idea the students are working of painting Edvard Munch's "The Scream" and putting themselves collaged into it. This one is of me obviously. I love the string sculpture well. The quote for this week: "Sometimes I pretend to be normal but it gets boring so I go back to being me!"
