Allihies - sketchbook

Sketches done on location around Allihies while I was there before the opening of my exhibition. The exhibition - Another Day - Beara - is running at the Allihies Copper Mine Museum and Copper Café until the end of May.

I sketched to keep my nerves steady in the runup to the opening. Sketching is a way for me to be present in the moment, and to quiet my anxious mind.

I was blessed with good weather, and I discovered lots of stunning locations on my little rambles. So many roads and boreens and hiking paths to explore. And I'm not a hill walker even.

 I always forget to take photos of my sketches on location. I remembered on the first day only!
