I've been back from my trip for exactly a week now....Time becomes a blur when you look back and reflect. The trip was full of expectations, some that were met, some that were exceeded and some that stopped short of success. A combination of all three makes for some interesting pictures!
I enjoyed myself at Holly Farm Painting Holiday in Wicklow, Ireland and would recommend it to anyone who wants a RELAXING weekend of painting with a very accommodating host. The food at his B&B was delicious and we drank tea to the nines!
Although Holly Farm made for a good start with beautiful views of the Irish countryside, I would like my next painting adventure to be a little more stimulating. A slap in the face from my French art teacher if I'm too conventional, a new painting friend with an exotic, unpronounceable name, a feeling of never wanting to come back home...
Next year, I hope to try my luck out in Provence, France where the old masters, Van Gogh, Matisse and Cezanne stole the lavender and golden light and locked it in their paintings...
'Til then I continue painting...seeking out the Muse within...
