Bye 2010!

Moon

Got up this morning to dark skies and the moon still out at 8.45am never seen that before. Not before long it began to snow again...

10 years to walk to local shop!

Well yesterday was another day of being stuck in due to the snow cabin fever kicked in again so for the first time in ten years myself and my son decided to walk to the nearest shop... the road is usually very busy and is quite dangerous to walk but with little or no traffic we braved it. The walk involves a number of hills up and down but after an hour we arrived. The treat at the end was a bar of chocolate for the journey back another hour.... very nice indeed. So with two days to Christmas, I have managed not to get caught up in the Christmas shopping hype and  I'm having a very chilled out time. The bank balance is also looking healthier than ever before at Christmas I suppose not so bad after all... Happy Christmas to everyone I hope its a good one at least Santa can still get around.... so I might get a present after all.. Here are some more snow pics of our walk.

Please Touch Exhibition 16th December

The exhibition went very well a lot of hard work and effort went into making it happen. The atmosphere on the night was great. Artist Sean Hillen http://www.seanhillen.com/ opened the exhibition and he gave a really good speech. Thanks to everyone for their support the lecturers, sponsors and fellow students. Below is the work I displayed I use a variety of mediums from oils, acrylic and gouache.

Community Based Learning Project....

This is a short posting to-day unfortunately due to the bad weather over the last two weeks I was unable to get down to visit the project in Wexford. Hopefully after the Christmas break we will get stuck in. Looking forward to working on this project as it is very different to the community work I have done before. This one will be hands on helping to make a boat so can't wait to get started. Due to a 3rd year Art exhibition this week at the Grainstore, Paul's Quay, Wexford it will be a very busy week in preparing for that. So watch this space for further postings!

The Grainstore was renovated in recent years and is a fabulous building full of history and it's fantastic that such buildings are kept and not allowed fade away.

More snow pictures, I haven't the energy to tackle the budget! To-day..

Just when I thought there was light at the end of the tunnel starting to snow again...

As the snow has continued to fall a few latest pics...
