At 5:00 am, July 28, 2022, I conducted a dawn painting workshop for the local community, at the edge of Lough Hyne, Ireland's first Marine Nature Reserve, 5 kilometers southwest of Skibbereen. After two hours of painting in the early morning hours, we returned to Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre for tea, to share readings on the subject of the dawn by writers and archaeologists, a writing exercise on our descriptions of painting at dawn, and discussion of our paintings. I look forward to my next Dawn studio workshop on site!
Thanks to Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre and Skibbereen Arts Festival for their support of my artist residency (June-July 2022) and this workshop.
