By the way, we are looking for catchy a t-shirt theme for this, our twelfth festival. Last year we had the Nocturne design - 'plein air painters - doing it in the dark'.

Any inspiration for no.12? You don't have to design it (although suggestions would be welcome). We are just looking for a title, a theme or a slogan.

There's a killer line-up of workshop artists at 2019 Art in the Open - perhaps the best one yet - and some great venues to paint in, too. If you want to take advantage of our bus, it is at a subsidised price of just €30 from Monday to Friday and that also helps in not cluttering some of the locations with several dozen cars and campers - no-one wants to be painting those! 

Grahame Booth (NI),
Valerie Craig (USA),
Vincent Crotty (USA),
Anastasia Dukhanina (France),
Thomas Jefferson Kitts (USA),
Kate Kos (Ireland),
Kevin Macpherson (USA),
Ned Mueller (USA),
Lori Putnam (USA),
Peggi Kroll Roberts (USA),
Ray Roberts (USA),
Dave West (Ireland). 

Register and book any workshops you want soon as there is a cap on participation and  the workshops (limited to just 12 persons each) are filling fast. See you there!

3 classics! I'm told the yellow ink glows in the dark when you're at the disco, Rene. Let us know if that's true, won't you/?

I'm going to a Brush with the Broads! 

I made an enquiry about the best way to travel, and within 24 they not only replied, they'd cc'd my email to an artist I've met at AITO, who offered to pick me up and ferry me around.  Flight to Stanstead, and local bus to Ipswitch.  Can't wait.

Thanks to you, Michael, and Helen, for a wonderful evening.

I'm so jealous of your studio!

Just wanted to say congrats again, Valerie. It was great having you out to ours for vino and nibbles - glad the rabbits didn't get the food!

Had a wonderful time and many thanks to all the organizers for their hard work. Got the usual cold when I arrived back. Now to clear up the car.

Sorry I haven't posted before now.  I tried posting pictures but they came out squashed so I deleted them.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I WON THE MAYORAL PRIZE!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't come down to earth yet.  Drove home on Monday evening, and was out to my usual life drawing session on Tuesday morning.  I hadn't unpacked my art back, so everything was still soaked from the wet in the Heritage Centre. 

It was a wonderful week before I got that huge surprise - which knocked the wind out of me temporarily.  I loved the paint outs, and the weather was kind most days.  There was a beautiful harbour down the dirt track at the end of my cul-de-sac.  Wonderful painting without even going into the car.  I think that Maike did eight paintings there.  We are booking an apartment there next year too.

A HUGE thank you to the committee, the volunteers, Trish & Tony, and everyone else who contributed time and sponsorship. 

Wexford people are brilliant (and my Mum was from Bunclody).

Back to a semblance of normality after a hectic festival. Any comments from those who attended?
