you could not dream it up could you?
This year has been one of the most amazing I’ve had in my life.
in early January I was invited to be a tutor on the trip of a lifetime in a remote part of Kerala, India, with Art Holidays Kerala.
I was so inspired there and on my return and I was all fired up to paint up a storm in response to the trip.
Here are some of my watercolours from my photos.
I will write another blog dealing exclusively with the trip and the work so far resulting from it

I also stated a new short term job as art tutor in the Watergarden, Thomastown, co Kilkenny
Then
COVID 19 changed all our lives.
So I ended up working in Jerpoint community as a carer/cleaner/art tutor.


Every minute seemed precious and at weekend in August I went plain air painting.
in the photo above I have won first prize on the first day in the Wexford Plein air festival!
it’s been a rollercoaster of a time.
