I am delighted to be exhibiting again this year at the Dublin Horse Show. Its a fantastic event with something for all the family and not only horse lovers. I will be in Hall 3, Serpentine Hall at Stand P12 beside the restaurant. I'm looking forward to meeting new and existing clients. I will have a selection of seascapes, landscapes and abstracts paintings. Put the date in your calendar 14th - 18th August. 

I was very happy to be asked  to judge the pictures for the children' s art competition orgainised by The Malahide Chamber of Commerce. I had a very busy day going around all the 5 schools in Malahide and it was hard to narrow it down to 40 . We got some amazing art work which was on display in Malahide Library until the winner was announced on Wednesday 5th June. 

A great night was had by all at the annual IPAV Fine & Decorative Art Graduation in the Stephens Green Club. This year we completed the French Series and went on to have a fabulous trip to Paris visiting galleries and chateau’s etc. I documented it with lots of photos on my Instagram page. Looking forward to next years course which I think may be English Art , an interesting one with plenty of artists to choose from. 

Just back from an amazing trip to Paris with my fine arts group . We had 5 days visiting galleries and chateau’s , so much to see  in Paris . We went to the Picasso gallery and the highlight for me was the Musée D’Orsay where the Paris 1874 Inventing Impressionism was on, it’s 150 years since these paintings were shown for the first time . Monet, Degas, Ceyanne, Sisley, Pissarro to name just a few. I have photos up on my Instagram page of all the places we visited. We also went to Fontainbleau which was the home of several kings and Napoleon during his reign. The last day we went to Malmaison which was bought in 1799 by Josephine de Beauharnais , wife of Napoleon 1st. I could go on forever about all the fabulous places , here is a list of the other places where we visited. Musée des Arts decoratifs
