On August 27th, Carrick Boarding Kennels and Dog Shelter in Co. Monaghan, will hold their annual Happy Paws Pet Day.
The venue is called "Iontas", and it's in Conabury, Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan"
It's all about dogs. There will be dog shows, stalls, entertainment and a raffle. I will be there with a stall, and one of the raffle prizes will be a voucher for a painting done by me.
Oh, and I've been asked to judge one of the shows.
So... don't forget to mark this date!

In March my painting "Ballinasloe Horse Fair", won first prize at the Pastel Guild of Europe Competition.
Pastel Guild of Europe Juror's comment:
'A complex, interesting and very different approach and very well painted in the vignette style.
The hands being underplayed is important and well thought out.
Particularly good for not being sugary or sentimental.'
