The quote “repent or perish", was what the woman who was talking to the homeless man had written on her high-vis jacket.

09.03.2025 11:40 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Where do I start? Cill Rialaig, where I spent two weeks in February, painting and sketching.
What a privilege it was to be awarded this art residency. With 8 cottages/studios, places are limited. Cill Rialaig will haunt me, and my work, for a very long time.
I spent most of my day in Blackrock.
And PS: I’m going to make them count as #oneweek100people !!

Experimenting with the idea of the elemental forces - thinking about earth and air, or land and sky and how the two interact when a storm comes along. Expressed with dry brush, splashing, scratching and wet-in-wet watercolour.

I experimented with tempera sticks, Neocolor and continuous line drawing, and had a great time.

I’d better start practicing. Feeling very rusty !
