Christmas 2009 Exhibitions

Hard to believe it is Christmas again! It's been a busy, challenging but ultimately a very successful and enjoyable year. But it's not over just yet.....

The annual Christmas show in the Bad Art Gallery, Dublin has got off to a flying start and will run until january. All paintings in the show are under €500, I have 10 new pieces in the exhibition. The Blue Loft Gallery in Ranelagh have also opened their annual Christmas show and have a new selection of paintings from me.

My new collection of 8"x8" limited edition prints are now available through Juggy's Well Cafe in Glasthule, Co.Dublin.

All of my other galleries are running their annual Christmas exhibitions, for gallery details please return to the website.

Padraig McCaul & Grainne Watts: Whites Hotel, Wexford

Grainne and I will be exhibiting in Whites Hotel for 2 weeks during the Wexford Opera Festival.

For the first week (Oct 21st to 26th) our work will be on display in the foyer at either side of the reception. We will be at the opening of the exhibition on the 21st but will not be on the premises for the remainder of that week, but as our studio is only an hour away so we can easily call down if needed.

For the second week (Oct 27th to Nov 1st) we will be exhibiting upstairs in the Selksar Room, where Grainne and I look forward to meeting all visitors between 11am and 7pm each day.
