Time and location to be posted in advance both on "Plein Eire Dublin" and "Events" pages on this Plein Eire site.

RSVP on 'Events' for notice to be sent to you in the event of any change in plans or check this Plein Eire Dublin Group page on the morning of a paint-out .

Nominate a time and location with reasonable painting prospects.
Identify a local cafe or hostelry for artists to meet in before and after.
Indicate if there is parking available nearby, and if its free or metered.
Post the suggestion to 'Events'and copy and paste the link to the Comment Wall below on this page.

Members may also propose paint-outs at other times as suits them and ask for other members who may be available to join them.

Comment by Gerri McCaffery on August 12, 2013 at 17:59: Hi All, I'm fairly new to Plein Air (I have mostly been doing animal portraits). I was at AITO in Wexford and loved it. I might be away in September but would love to join in at the next one.

Comment by Etain Feeley on August 8, 2013 at 11:35: Count me in to.

Comment by Carole Ann Margaret Cullen on August 8, 2013 at 8:05: looking forward to joining you all in Old Schoolhouse Enniskerry on 7th September

Comment by john o'flynn on August 4, 2013 at 8:49: Not a bad turn out y'day for Iveagh Gdns/Stephen's Green!

I am going to pencil in Enniskerry for Sept's "First-Sat" paint-out (07/09) as a colleague has taken a temporary lease on the old school house in the centre of the village to see if he can run it as an art-centre, and he would like to host us. But ifanyone has any other suggestions - please speak up! - Happy painting! (preferably outdoor!) - John O Flynn

Comment by john o'flynn on August 2, 2013 at 8:37: Hi all!

Since there's hasn't been a clamour of alternative suggestions, can I confirm that PEDub will go to Iveagh Gardens/Stephen's Green for "First-Sat" (Aug) paint-out, tomorrow, Sat 03/08...for some sunny(!?) urban painting! Shall we meet in O'Briens cafe on Harcourt St, (adjacent to Kennedy's Art Shop), at c11.00 for 11.30 start? The nearest free parking is on the side-streets on the other side of Baggot St Bridge (marked yello in map above). So anyone who isn't at AITO, please come along!

Look fwd to seeing you! - John O Flynn/087 2709097

Comment by john o'flynn on July 24, 2013 at 8:41: Hi,

Due to my exhibition (mentioned below) I'm obliged to stay around Dublin till I take it down on Aug 2, and I've had a busy few weeks, so I am not minded to dash off to AITO immediately afterwards. So I'll be around Dublin for "First-Sat" paint-out day (Aug 3) : For the moment I'll nominate Iveagh Gardens, Earlsfort Tce as the location - as (1) I've never been there! & (2) I want to go back to attempt Newman's Chapel again after making a hash of it last Sun (!) and (3) perhaps a gardened urban location (which might include Stephen's Green) may ba a counterpoint to the further flung venues we've gone to in recent months. Since attendance may be low (due to AITO) please let me know if this suits or if those who do intend to come along would prefer another location (I'll confirm details in any case early next week). - Best - JOHN O F

Comment by john o'flynn on July 23, 2013 at 17:57: Hi Plein Eire Dubliners!

I have an exhibition running till Aug 2 at Malahide Library - mostly small plein air works, and a few nudes and portraits. Don't go all the way especially (you can catch the work another time!) but if you are in the area, feel free to call in...

Best

JOHN OF

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on July 10, 2013 at 14:25: And on the way home I came across a lone artist in Coliemore Harbour. He'd gone to the wrong harbour and wondered where the rest of us were.

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on July 10, 2013 at 9:40: About twelve artists were painting away in the glorious sunshine at Bullock Harbour last Saturday. There was tons going on - comings and goings. Fishermen, people buying their supper, canoes, glittering water, and more. The people renting boats had erected colourful umbrellas as a sunscreen.
