Ireland has extended an invitation to us to exhibit "Coastal Living".   Our show will open in June 2015.

Prior to the show we will be painting, on location, en plain air in Ireland.  Helen has been scouting Ireland for the past several months for vistas.   

 Paintings are being tagged, measured and selected.    We are also taking every moment to complete commissioned pieces prior to travelling to Europe.  

 A few of our patrons are planning to travel to Ireland for our art opening.   We are truly blessed.

Coastal Cottages is ongoing at

    Hi Helen
    I just had a chance to read your blog. What a great Idea. It will bring tourist $$ to Ireland and you will have the opportunity to capture the beauty of your homeland through the art of your painting. I can just imagine the pride you must feel. Coastal living in Ireland must be much more beautiful with the lush green backdrop than the coastal living in Tampa. Both have a different kind of beauty but somehow the natural beauty of Ireland surpasses the beauty of the state of Florida. That is just my opinion having visited Ireland and Florida.

    I love you wandering artists, this is so inspiring. I guess we don't have enough sunshine in Seattle to draw you out here. Keep up the beautiful work!
