SUMMER AT LAST

The view from the Bayview Hotel, Ballycotton, where myself and 7 others of the Old Road Painters group had our Summer night out. What more could you wish for , a view like this and superb food and wine. It was wonderful to dine “en plein eire”.

Here’s another one taken from one of my sketchbooks, this time a wading bird called a Bar Tailed Godwit.

Sketched this Blackbird a couple of winters ago, then put in the colour later.

Sketches

“HAPPINESS IS! “
Spent the last two days sketching out a couple of ideas for paintings. I used photos I took of a man in a park in Buenos Aires, don’t know  if he was a dog walker or just a dog lover, but he had about 8 dogs with him!

“PLAY WITH US DADDY”
After spending 2 days sketching them out my wife begged me to leave them as sketches and not put colour in, so I now have to draw them again to paint them!
