Mountmellick Christmas Art, craft & Food Fair, Sun. 2nd Dec.

 Firstly I like to say a big thank you to all my customers at the Ballymaloe Christmas Craft fair and say how nice it was to meet them all and I really appreciate the interest in my work, in my book, prints & cards and all their kind compliments.
  Next is an art and craft fair that is new for me at the 'Mountmellick Christmas Art,Craft & Food fair in County laois on Sunday the 2nd of December in  O'Connell Square mountmellick from 1-6pm. It looks to be a fabulous and unusual event with marquees for the many stalls around the square's Christmas tree and entertainment throughout the afternoon.
  Once again I will have all my limited edition prints on display at special show prices and a large selection of my artists greetings cards,some for Christmas and some for any occasion.My pack of Irish song bird cards make a lovely stocking filler as does the pack of 'Grumpy baby Wrens' cards.
 Below is the cards in my Irish song bird pack of six cards for just E 11.50

  And this is the 'Grumpy Baby Wrens' pack of six (the same) for just E 9.95

 A wren nested in my little barn and on the day her babies fledged I watched her feeding them in the hedgerow and sketched them while they sat waiting for her. I also did an oil painting of her feeding one and I have an A5 card of that!

 I will have my artist's book 'Scattered with light, painting the beauty of nature' for sale which would make a lovely present for anyone interested in Art, Nature, Horses and the Irish landscape. The detailed notes and step by step photographs of how the paintings were created make it absolutely ideal for anyone with an interest in painting in oils.
  The best selling prints at last week fair at Ballymalloe were of the river Suir, Tipperary & the river Caragh, Kerry-
