It is mad to say that it is already the middle of March and as my Facebook thing keeps telling me I have not posted in a month!
It has been a busy month in some ways but I think like a lot of people this winter it has been hard to get up and running with things so I have had to prioritise and this blog lost out…..it is a dilemma these days, we are all so busy doing things but nobody believes us unless they see the evidence and that takes a lot of time from doing. I mean I could be making things right now not sitting in front of my computer doing three things, a proposal for the Ferrybank group; a poster for a group exhibition in Thomastown and outlines for the Textile level 3 group. Sunday a day of rest. I should be at a point to point in Borris…might get there yet!
It is safe to say the Point to point is not going to happen for me. Below is a sketch in charcoal and burnt cork that I did at a workshop yesterday in the Old schoolhouse Enniskerry with David Begley. Very happy with the day, the sketch could be better of course!
Some work from my diary
One day when I must not have been in the studio for a few days I found this poor starling in the stove, dead and cold so I drew him 
In preparation for a workshop painting the nude in oil I thought I had better work on the drawing skills to be ready!
More work from tuesdays… Wednsdays are doing more theory and we had a lovely visit to Garter Lane to plan the next stage of the group!
