“My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”

― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fab experience to visit this elephant sanctuary 🐘.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Round trip transfer to & from hotel / feeding the animals / bathing with the elephants /joining them for a mud spa / learned lots about their behaviour, anatomy and their history.

Even got a demonstration on how elephant paper is made (poopaper 🤭) as they have a lot of fibre in their diet so it gets processed and hey presto, paper for me as an artist to paint on. 🎨🧑‍🎨
Oh and they served us a delicious lunch 😋

An absolute must see if you're in Phuket

I’m so grateful for this beautiful testimonial from a recent collector who connected deeply with my painting of Goat’s Island in Ardmore. It’s always an honour to hear how my work resonates with others and brings the beauty of the Irish landscape into their homes.

Thank you for your continued support!

126 Artist-run Gallery, Galway is excited to be back in Donegal this year to work alongside the Artlink team to showcase the wonderful variety of work submitted by Artlink members for their annual members show.

Meitheal is a powerful concept. It’s an Irish word describing the tradition of neighbours coming together to help each other to harvest crops or save hay and was a fundamental part of life, particularly in rural areas. Building a sense of solidarity and unity in the community, this ethos of collaboration is deeply rooted in Irish culture.

Portrayed in the Arts in Ireland as a symbol of collaboration and community both Seamus Heaney and Sean Scully have depicted and celebrated the spirit of Meitheal in their work.
As artists, we often work alone. The spirit of Meitheal teaches us that by connecting and working together, we can overcome challenges. It’s a reminder of the importance of the collective effort and the possibilities that can emerge when we work together. By valuing our own identity, we can value the power of community
and collaboration, acknowledging what individuals can achieve when we unite and recognise our collective identity.

The exhibition is curated by Vanessa Jordan of the 126 Gallery Board of directors.

Rocky Terrain at Donabate Beach - Oil on Canvas.

Rocky Terrain at Donabate Beach - Oil on Canvas.
This is a painting I have been working on from our fantastic week with @dublinpleinair.ie where lots of artists went to 7 different locations in North Co. Dublin over the week painting en plein air. Looking out over Lambay Island, I chose to paint rocks and more rocks - phew! (more difficult than I realised).
The expansive horizon offered a compelling composition. Painting by the shore, with the cool breeze and the sound of the waves, was incredibly peaceful and inspiring.
I do hope you like it.
Keep an eye on my website www.donnamcgee.ie - I will post it there along with some other plein air paintings very soon.

Feel free to like and share this post.😊

Day 7 Dublin Plein Air Festival at Ardgillen Castl

Day 7 Dublin Plein Air Festival at Ardgillen Castle. Last day of this great festival that has lasted with sunshine throughout - unbelievable - on order for next year. The beautiful grounds of Ardgillen Castle were a pleasure to wander around in. Had the enjoyable experience of doing a workshop with Blaise Smyth where we took a deep dive into golden means, geometry and such like - very engaging! Tired after the week but such fond memories to look back on. Big thanks to Paul Darcy, Theresa, Ray, Pearse and others who created this event without a hitch - fabulous organisation - we'll be back for more!

Another great day with the Dublin Plein Air Festiv

Another great day with the Dublin Plein Air Festival - day 6 at Farmleigh house. Feeling tired at this stage after 6 full days of painting and focus, being outdoors in all weathers, but can't really complain because we have had amazing weather so far. We had the extra bonus today as the William Orpen exhibition was on along with The Ceramics Exhibition for all to enjoy. Have enjoyed it all so much and chatting to all the lovely artists - just did a half day today. Getting ready now for the last day tomorrow in Ardgillen Castle.
