Hello From Hook Head!!!

We spent Sunday at Tintern Abbey and gardens. A beautiful Abbey to explore including walking paths through the forest. I found a great view to paint from a bridge along the paths. After am excellent lunch at the cafe, we were told musicians were coming to play traditional Irish music on Irish pipes and a fiddle. I did a quick sketch of the opposite of the earlier view. This one of the bridge. The music was lively and beautiful to listen to in such a setting.

I am so excited that my next painting trip is about to begin! 

I will be writing to you from Ireland and Scotland sharing sites I see and paint. The first leg of my trip is with my awesome travel partner and husband Allen. We will be visiting Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford counties and finishing up in Dublin. 

I will then be heading off on my solo painting adventure mainly in Counties Roscommon, Mayo, Offaly and concluding with Dublin.

Mid September will see me flying to Edinburgh to meet fellow artist Kathie Bliss for a painting vacation in Ireland for 25 days

 We will be visiting and painting all over Scotland in the Lowlands, Midlands, and the Isle of Skye.

Stay tuned for posts here with some beautiful photos and fun adventures.

Kind Regards, Kim
