Bunratty Performer


Decided to go A1 this weekend which was a good change from my little sketch book. This is one of the perfomers at the Bunratty Medieval Banquet at Bunratty Castle, County Clare, Ireland, making some important point to one of the guests I'm guessing!

Black & White


My impression of the church at Loughrea, County Galway using simultaneous contrast. Not really a lot of output this week as feeling a bit frustrated. Will get to it tonight and probably try a seascape.

Da Vinci



I've been messing around with copying (trying!) some of Da Vinci's works to learn from the Master. His work, even his sketches are awesome. Hence, this, my poor rendition of the Herculean Portrait of a Warrior (c 1508). Anyway, it was a nice change from landscapes, which I will get back to this week...

Forest Newmarket-on-Fergus


This is my impression of an ancient forest in Newmarket-on-Fergus, Ireland using Faber-Castell Albert-Durer pencils. The biggest difficulty I had with this picture was trying to show the endlessness of the forest.
