<p>I'm just reading a short book by Carol Marine of DailyPaintworks and in it there's a photo of a new year destruction of all those paintings everyone does that don't quite cut the mustard. To clear out the studio and banish that doubt-inducing clutter. She invites her nearby artist friends along with theirs. Light the brazier and open a bottle of bordeaux and off you go! Nice idea.

<p>My heart sinks when I see 'a painting a day challenge' and now 4 a day - well that's just showing off! I'm sure we would all love to achieve things like that, but surely 'life' tends to get in the way.</p>

<p>Hi Tony<br/>Unfortunately I won't be able to get to Wexford this year.</p>
<p>The plan at the moment is to get a vibrant life drawing group going in Florence. That's started. Tomorrow is the first session. Anybody passing through is more than welcome to join in. Here's a facebook page with details. <br/><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Firenze-Florence-Life-Drawing/1559288134315120?ref=bookmarks" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Firenze-Florence-Life-Drawing/1559288134315120?ref=bookmarks</a><br/><br/>Together with two other artists I'm offering a luxury Plein Air holiday in Tuscany, this September. We've rented an amazing villa in the hills beside Florence. I'll post more details on that later.</p>
<p>Of course I plan to paint plein air as often as possible each week too.</p>

<p>Anyone planning a plein air trip or attending a workshop or an outdoor painting event anywhere, tell us about it at Plein Eire and why not add it to our 'Events' tab.</p>

<p>1. Get the hundred or so paintings I have completed 'Framed'. And hanging in a nice space where people can see and enjoy them. Oh this is a big bug bear with me. I get so precious about handing them over to someone else. And the cost :-o. And then I go and try and do framing/mounting myself and always begin with great intentions but never quite get there. Why why why just not ' let go'. I've written this down so many times before. But maybe, just maybe 2014 will be the year of action. :-)</p>
<p>here they are: at least I've started sort of organising them.</p>

<p>2. Keep painting.</p>
<p>3. Go to AITO and have a really great time just like 2013.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'l open this again next year. To all other PE members have a happy and productive 2014.</p>
