Success in Lisdoonvarna...




The sun shone very brightly for the fourth annual Outdoor Landscape Painting Competition on Saturday the 22nd of May. I spent the day in Fanore Beach, painting in the blistering heat. Unfortunately for me I got rather carried away painting, and I did not apply enough suncream. Fortunately, my hard work paid off and both of my paintings won awards. I came first place overall, and first place in category. The sunburn was just about worth it!!


I have been very busy in the last few weeks working on my website. I am happy to announce that www.niamhslack.com was relaunched last week. All feedback welcome!


Meanwhile, preparations continue for my upcoming solo show in the Waterside Arts Centre in Derry. This show will open on the evening of September the 3rd and continue until the 14th of October.


And another date for your diaries...I am going to exhibit in Whites Hotel in Wexford, during the Wexford Opera Festival. The festival runs from the 16th to the 30th of October. I will be exhibting during the second weeek of the festival. You will be able to find me in the Walter Dene Suite in the hotel, from the 24th to the 30th of October.


So, lots to look forward to in the coming months!....and lots of paintings to complete...
