In March 2015 we went to see Dunluce Castle.  A very beautiful and interesting area anyone visiting Ireland should go and see.

What I have been doing the past year.

Over past year I have been working on a lot of projects.

First up since I last updated this blog, I started driving lessons and passed my driving test in December. :D

I took part in a life drawing lass which lasted several weeks and was a great experience.  Not only did I learn and witness some new techniques I also made some good friends.

Of course I have been doing some paintings and commission pieces which you will all see shortly.

I have also been doing odd jobs which were quite time consuming and took a couple weeks at a time to complete.

I am hoping very soon to do a massive update on my official website as I am not happy with the current lay out of it.  Also I think an official Facebook page to promote and sell my art work would be a lot more simple than the current format.  Especially as it is a lot easier and not as much hassle to update with new pieces etc.

I also took part in the Roe Valley Arts and Culture Open Art exhibition again this year which was a good experience.  Although I would have liked to have displayed some other work but I was not aware of the exhibition until the last minute, so I could not get my other pieces framed and ready in time so I had to submit what work I had on the deadline day.

Sadly my work is no longer available for sale and viewing at Café Cino, in Coleraine.  My friend who ran Café Cino closed down as it took up a lot of his time and he wasn't getting to spend much time with his family.  On a good note though he is in employment and gets to spend more time with his family.

I am also thinking of expanding this blog and including some of my other interests and not just my art work.  I will probably do some movie and game reviews and some other things that interest me.

As I said in the previous post there is going to be a lot more activity here from now on.

Update 2014

Wow, it has been over a full year since I updated this blog.  I really didn't realise it had been so long.  This blog will become a lot more active again.

Some of my work is now on display and available for sale at Caf'e Cino Coffee Shop in Coleraine.

Back to the pecils.

Realised I hadn't done a pencil drawing in a long time, so I finally got around to doing one I have been wanting to do for years.
