Hi Mary.
Good to see you made your way onto this site. Hope you find it interesting.
Do visit the Group page (top menu bar) and sign up as a member of Art in the Open Group there. That way you can receive alerts to paint outs etc. (As it happens, the next one is this Sunday to Our Lady's Island, Broadway, Co. Wexford).

You'll find you may not get much response on here until you post a few photos of paintings and added a link to your blog.
