In 2000, Society Members travelled to Dublin to attend Dr. Thomas Ryan’s memorable “Retrospective Exhibition”, in the Royal Hibernian Academy. It consisted of some 180 paintings, including sculptures. Society members were treated to a guided talk by Dr. Ryan who led them through the entire Exhibition. Dr. Ryan’s demonstration was entertaining and helpful, with every painting accompanied by a witty story. A most enjoyable learning experience!
