Thy Kingdom Come, Kerry Painted.Group Art Exhibition at Origin Gallery, Dublin, 14th March 20193/14/2019 Group Exhibition at Origin Gallery Dublin I am delighted to be exhibiting in this group exhibition along with nine other leading landscape artists at the Origin gallery, the exhibition is to be opened tonight (Thurs. March 14th) by Dr. Noelle Campbell Sharp, founder of the Cill Rialaig Artist's retreat in County Kerry. This wonderful retreat enables artists from all over the world to stay almost cost free in the artist's village of cottages right by the sea in Kerry. I have had two residencies each a truly inspirational experience! Some of the paintings that arose from my residencies are in this exhibition. There is a wine reception 6 - 8pm tonight at the Origin, 37 Fitzwilliam st Upper, Dublin 2 to start the exhibition if anyone is interested to come along to preview this brilliant collection of work by very different artists all with their own interpretations of the wild Kerry land and seascape. I shall be there and would be pleased to see you. 'Each artists responds in their own unique way to the landscape and this special vision is what enables them to create their art. My style of painting is true to nature and the inspiration is from deep in my heart and is in response to my wonder at the beauty of the natural world. Kerry is a very distinctive and different landscape to paint and each time I have been there to paint it has taken a few days just to absorb the colour and beauty before I can actually start painting, then the inspiration just flows! it is a magical place'. -Sarah For more details please contact the gallery on - 01 662 9347 or click on the button below for the website.

ANDREW GIFFORD, LINDA GRAHAM, EITHNE HEALY, SUSAN MORLEY, MAGGIE BROWN SARAH CORNER, SARAH LANGHAM, ROD COYNE, KEN BROWNE, CAROLE SHUBOTHAM THE FINAL HURRAH! The last exhibition at 37 Fitzwilliam St. ORIGIN RELOCATING SOON I discovered a few days ago someone selling what they said was a Sarah Corner painting, but it was actually a print of a painting I was commissioned to paint some years ago by the Lake hotel in Killarney, Kerry. My original oil painting was 26"x48" and can be seen at the hotel. I have never published a print of this painting myself but the Hotel with my permission made some prints of the painting to give away free to guests at the hotel as a memento of their stay. I had no input whatsoever in the production of the prints and they are most definitely not the same high quality as my own museum standard limited edition Giclee prints, but they were only intended as a free gift and I have heard that they may not be 100% light fast ( meaning their colour may fade in strong sunlight). This gives me an opportunity to stress again the importance of buying good quality prints such as my own ones are,the inks and paper I use are of the highest quality available and are also 100% printed in Ireland. All my prints come with a certificate of authenticity signed by the printer and myself and the prints are signed and numbered by me to give you the security of knowing you are buying the genuine high quality article and will allow the prints to be resold in the future if you should wish. If a print has not been signed and numbered by me, then it is not one of my prints! This is a photograph of the print the hotel made from my original painting  A really big Thank you to everyone who came to the Mountmellick craft fair, despite the torrential down pour or two!. Weather aside it was a great little fair with a fantastic team of organisers and a really friendly atmosphere and I met some nice people and had good sales, so smiles all round. My book 'Painting the beauty of nature' sold very well and many visitors had a strong interest in both painting and nature (birds being most popular for print and card sales) and it was lovely to meet everyone. Lastly a very happy Christmas to all! - Sarah Christmas orders!

The Iverk Show Saturday 25th August, Piltown co. Kilkenny This will be the last show I'll be attending for this Summer. The Iverk show is one of my favourite shows and incidentally also the oldest show in Ireland and is in a great location being so close to Counties Kilkenny, Waterford,Wexford and Tipperary. So it will be the last chance to buy my prints at the special offer Summer show prices. Last year the best selling print was "Goldfinches on thistle' the online price for this is 75 euro (including 15 euro for registered post and packing) Buy it at the Iverk show on Saturday for just 49 euro! New environmentally friendly cards and packaging Now all my cards & envelopes are made from the highest quality recycled card and paper and are protected by a cellophane bag. Cellophane is made from plant material and therefore biodegradable. I protect my prints on my stand at shows by using a sheet of stiff card behind the print and I wrap the whole thing in thick cellophane. I used to sometimes use polypropylene which is completely recyclable but as one can't guarantee this will actually happen I think it's greener to cut out the plastic and go for good old Cellophane!   All my limited edition prints are high quality reproductions of my original oil paintings.I spend a lot of time in the field sketching and photographing birds in order to get the detail right and the paintings can take weeks or even months to complete back in my studio. Once completed I choose the best to be made into a print and take it to the Murray imaging studios as it is a Hahnemuhle certified fine art studio and Tony Murray who is an award winning photographer creates the master file using the in house lighting to ensure he captures every detail & nuance of the original work.Once an artists proof is approved by me by comparison with the original painting it is ready for the print edition to start. I use 310g/m2 German etching paper made by the renowned paper company Hahnamuhle (est 1584) which is of archival museum quality and the inks are special archival pigment inks all of which goes to the ensure enduring quality of my prints. Each edition is usually strictly limited to 100 thus making them highly collectable.
