"Molly and Gabriel Have a Lovely Day" - mixed media on reclaimed wood (a press or cabinet door).  Inquiries.  Available at the Olive Stack Gallery.

Oh my. We are back in the studio for another lovely day.  These two cuties are delightful to hang out with, although Gabriel has developed a taste for the potato chips Billy Keane is now serving at John B's, which are beef flavored (actual Kerry beef in the ingredients).  The things we do for our feathered friends.

A quiet day for two weary travelers. Leslie is busy writing, I am making malarkey with paint.  In between, we managed to get out for a little holiday shopping.  It is Olive's birthday today, but through we tried to walk three paces behind her and say "your majesty" all day, she was very kind and freed us from royal servitude.

The busy bees here are working to prepare for Olive's big art opening next week.  "The Giving Season" is her first show since my last visit (August 2016) and includes her fabulous new paintings from Paris.  I am SO THRILLED to be here for this show opening!  I will do my very best to post her new work and video  of the show for you, dear reader.  

Sweet Bridget visited us this evening.  More GORGEOUS wood to paint on (including some teak!) and a new treat for us to stuff into our clothing - Jaffa Cakes.  Delicious.  I heard there are no calories in Ireland.  Thank goodness.

In case you need a bliss boost today, please enjoy the soothing sounds of an Irish waterfall from our touring this week:

Love those types of wood panels. That goose? is amazing, know just what he wants, Gabriel is going to spoil him! Jaffa cakes.... just looked to see what they are.. look delicious.. calories LOL

Carol!! These panels are SO much fun! I'm afraid Gabriel the Goose is now in love with Jaffa Cakes, but that's good news for me (fewer for me to eat). Molly, on the other hand, would rather have a biscuit.

WOW! You have a unique talent to describe the undescribable and adding in the pictures of scenery (including local wildlife) helps your reader enjoy your incredible journey.

Indeed - Lovely Days!

Do not let Gabriel find Aingeal's wings—keep the Jaffa Cakes front and center!

That panel! Gabriel's wings! Molly's dress and gentle eyes! A lovely studio day to be sure, Jen.

Happy birthday, Olive!
