Catherine, Averil, Bridget, Michael, Lil and Eleanor. We had a great week and once again the weather really was very good and we were outside for four days out of five. Everyone did a great job, and completed two paintings of the views from the lawns of the Lake Hotel Killarney. For one of the group it was their first time painting and the discovery of a truely absorbing pasttime. Another of the group had come to oils for the first time having previously painted with water-colours. Its always a real pleasure to run the courses, share the excitment and see the satisfaction we all feel at the end of a week or weekend of painting.
I did have to skip the scones this week though...there's only so much cream and jam the waist-line will tolerate!! Pity!
