These are some of the pictures I took. If you ever go, stay in a lovely country house hotel called Plas-tan-yr-allt which is lovely and very warm and cosy!

Bird fish
I did this picture with spray paint and collage. The image is raised from the backgroundusing foam board so the shadow shows behind the fish. I used marbleized paper I bought in Florence and spraypainted the background through lace. The rest of the fish, coral and seaweed was done with spraypaint and coloured pencil. The bubbles are origami paper!!

This is the first three pages of a moleskine exchange I am involved in. I have named my book "the Journey". I am sending it to Japan tomorrow and the person who has it next can decide where she wants the journey to go next...... it will be interesting to see where it is taken, there will be 10 people working on it. I wonder where she will go?

Upon finding out that Jack had sold their cow for a few beans, Jack's mother screamed in dismay........there was nothing left of their family fortune and she wouldn't be able to have her usual botox injections!!!! She was inconsolable!
This is the second picture of 5 I am doing for 'Jack and the Beanstalk', In this version they are a family of loafers who have squandered their family's money until they have nothing left. Then Jack finds his cash cow up in the beanstalk..... money without the work as he steals from the Giant.

Munch: Print exhibition National Gallery, Dublin
Today I went along to the National Gallery in Merrion Square, Dublin to see the exhibition of prints done by the Norwegian artist, Edvard Munch. It is on until December and I thought was well worth the visit. the ubiquitous 'The Scream' (lithograph)was there with it's lines vibrating!! Also 'Death and the Woman'(1895) and 'The sick child' (1896)( both lithographs) along with portraits of the poet, Stéphane Mallarmé, Swedish playwright, August Strindberg, and the philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. My favourite print was his self portrait
