Wow I have been busy since here last. Had a show in the Watergarden,Thomastown, Co kilkenny. it was well received. am moving on from that work for the moment. I am going to concentrate on portraits or try to anyway!!

For this month I am giving myself time runinate, reconstruct and even vegetate a bit.  I am using the time to get to grips with the whole ‘good life’ thing…pickling cucumbers( badly.. too much salt..) still there are loads left!! preserving beetroot, freezing….basil, broad beans, beans, plenty of time to think and play with ideas in my head.

Put some work into the St Lukes hospital inKilkenny for the Arts Festival, some really good work in there I think. Saw some good work in Thomastown. interesting piece of Collaborative art inBerkeley Gallery. Must contact that girl Gabriella was her name.

Went to the theatre twice this week! twice more than in the last twelve years. Very good, one with The witches to see Fergus( old flame) in krappps last tapes I have to say he was impressive, then to a play by an  American tcrowd …lucia’s Chapters, very inspirational. I want to get involved in theatre now!!!

Any way have to go and get the beans ready to freeze than leave some paintings to th Mullachain cafe in St Mullins.

I will be back sooner next time
