I have been engrossed in a new painting, which I'll post up when it's complete, but I left the studio to take
a break as the sun was shining.
Over the weekend the summer temperatures returned and we enjoyed one of the pleasures of rural Irish life - a visit to our annual village show.
As usual it was a wonderful mix of art, animals, baking and harvested produce and a great time was had by all.

Leaving the village we drove across the Slieve Bloom mountains to walk and enjoy the view, in the far distance we glimpsed the Hill of Tara, Croghan Hill and the Hill of Uisneach.
I'll see you soon with the new painting!
