"I am looking forward to joining Trudi Doyle on her Art Holiday to Tuscany - my third time in 7 years. It's a wonderful experience each time. I find inspiration in watching Trudi produce exquisite paintings "en plein air" and in the variety of the Tuscan scenery, mountains and villages with their timeless charm.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: start;">
Trudi adapts her tuition and coaching to meet the needs of each student. The pace is relaxed and outings are well organised. The locals are friendly and welcoming. A nice cameraderie develops in the group, enhanced by sharing the gorgeous food provided for the evening meal by Maria in Hotel La Pia." Pauline Jones </div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;">Trudi Doyle Art Exhibition at the Clubhouse Kilkenny - 8th to 17th August</span><br />
<br />
From Kilkenny to Minnesota <br />
As I prepare for my 29th annual exhibition in Kilkenny arts festival this year I remember that this time last year I was trying to decide if it was worthwhile to continue to exhibit during a recession .<br />
It was a dilemma but I went ahead as usuall to the venue in "mid town " Kilkenny I've been exhibiting at for twenty years - Gallery Upstairs at the Club House Hotel . ! <br />
As it happened that exhibition last year was quite successful but the most interesting development for me soon after was a request via my website from <span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>Gustavus Adolphus University, Minnesota</strong></span> to purchase temporary copyright for their print literature of some art pieces which had been shown in my Kilkenny Exhibition , in particular "Peaceable Kingdom" watercolour which I'd sold to a private collector from Kilkenny <br />

<br />
I'm amazed at the far reaching power of the internet ! My website on <span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>Fine Art America</strong></span> where <span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>Gustavus Adolphus University</strong></span> found my work and loved it, is home to 100,000+ of the world's greatest living artists and photographers with a collection of 7,224,229 images so I feel very proud and lucky that my work was chosen . See detail from one of their choices " Peaceable Kingdom"<br />
<br />
This year my exhibition " I Dream in Colour" has a variety of my work in Watercolours, Acrylics and Pastels including a section with a mythological theme.( see "Transmigration" attached ) <br />
