Gaeltacht thair tir Chona - DOOEY BEACH

The paint out on Saturday, 31 August, 2024 is at Dooey beach, south of the Rosguill peninsula viewing point north of Downings village. You are spoilt for choice with the beach surrounded by its rocks and the houses dotted around as well as the panoramic views from the viewing point which allow to see Horn head in the south - as well as the usual roaming sheep, seagulls… We will be meeting at 10am in The Galley (F92 W016) on Main Street in Downings on the R248 and make our way from there. 

It is August and there has been some good weather so make sure to put on your sunscreen! And a hat! We know there is no guarantee so bring everything else you can think of to shield you from the forces of nature: layers to add on or take off, rain gear so you do not miss it when you need it - and what you need to sustain yourself: a light lunch, drink of your choosing, a chair - and let’s not forget that we are plein air painters so pack your art materials or whatever you want to spend your time doing. All are welcome to come along in body - and mind.
