Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun of painting outdoors over the summer. Jessica Baron lead the painting group. We had three lovely afternoons painting in a relaxed atmosphere of O’Brien Street Park and the environs of The Old Court 😎 and one in the Trades Union Hall 💦☔️ We hope to have another outing in the autumn weather permitting.
