Last week was the annual Dublin Plein Air Festival and what a week it was.
Our first day was in Newbridge House, in Donabate

Our last day was Skerries and I have wanted to paint this scene for ages. Love the view looking back over the town from Red Island.

Can’t believe it is all over for another year. Hopefully by next year everything will be back to normal. Looking forward to it already.
