It’s incredibly remote, wild, wet and windy. But I am cosy in my cottage studio with a roaring fire in the stove and mugs of tea constantly on the go.
There are lovely friendly artists staying in the other cottages, so far I’ve made two new friends.
I will post some images of work in progress once I get properly started. Lots of painting ideas and maybe a few poems to write too.
We didn’t walk for long, it was hailing and so windy we could hardly stand

3 on paper and the ‘scribble’ I (unusually for me) did as a plan
and then 3 canvases:
mixed media on 90lb Cotman paper
76 x 55cm
4 works in progresss on 90lb Cotman paper 76 x 55cm
small works on paper from the last couple of days
I have yet to master the skill of getting a whole set off the board without tearing the paper when removing the tape
but I always get some I’m happy with
Some of the best of these will be framed, hopefully for a summer show in Dublin
The second, grey and gold ones, are called ‘Irish Gold, weather series’ !
