Hi John,

As far as I'm concerned a bank holiday is the same as any other day. However, the world and his mother is liable to be hosteling, camping, visiting etc. Glendalough for the June B.Hol. You'll know best how to judge the responses from the other members as to whether it will effect the attendance. I'm sure you'll make the right decision anyway.

Best wishes

Sally,

Sally,

Thanks for pointing out that it would be the Bank Hol weekend - I'll be around - but would it lead to lower attendance ? - should we put it back to second weekend?

Best

Hi John, first-sat-of-month-June in Glendalough sound very good to me -a little far for me but as I've missed so many paint-outs I reckon it will be worth the effort. Hope it works out for everyone.

By the way, I think that is the beginning of the Bank Holiday W/E.

 

Best wishes,

(Reply to Kevin Freeny re suggestion for joint SEPA +  Plein Eire Dublin Paint-Out to Glendalough in late May/early June)

Kevin,

I have just announced our first-sat-of-month-May paint-out for Clontarf. I was then going to throw it open to other Dublin members to choose a southside non-central location for the subsequent paint-out, the intention being to alternate northside/southside every second month or rotate northside/westside/southside every third month, at least during the fine weather, perhaps reverting to central locations for the winter; in addition I was going to ask members to take charge of paint-outs to their locality, by nominating a location and a coffee shop. Glendalough fits in with this scheme for the regular first-sat-of-month-June paint-out. Someone did ask for greater frequency during the summer - perhaps fortnightly - perhaps midweek - but that might be "jumping the gun" - as I dont think we really had too many Plein Eire Dublin members in Sandycove last week, more DPSC members. Perhaps first-sat-of-month-June in Glendalough would be best -lets see if we get any feedback to that suggestion.

Regards

JOHN O FLYNN

Hi all,  I am organising the 'Plein Air' session during th DPSC exhibition. As John has mentioned a number of people are in both so I thought it would be good idea to get together for this session and mentioned it to John. Also there are a number of members of the DPSC who have expressed a wish to join up with the 'Plein Air' on their   monthly outings so this would provide an opportunity to make the link and swell the ranks of the Dublin 'Plein Air' group. Hope as many as possible can make it to Sandycove. As John says there is no nearby cafe to meet but we can repair to one after the painting for a chat. Best wishes, Tom Scott

Hi, all Plien Eire Dublin members,

Sorry for not reporting on last First-Sat-Of-Month (March) Paint Out sooner: I couldn't find any other painters at Ashtown Castle, Phoenix Park, when I arrived at 11.50, I hung around cafe & car park till 12.30 before going off & finding a scene near the Aras gates to paint; tho' initially promising the weather didn't pick up and it remained a dull day. Someone did report to me she found two painters about at around 2.30pm so perhaps its just that we didn't meet up!

Anyway on to next First-Sat-of-Month (April) Paint Out and I have been asked by the Dublin Painting & Sketching Club to postpone our event till the following, the second, Sat, April 9th, to coincide with a Paint Out they are organising at Sandycove, in conjunction with their Annual Exhibition in Dun Laoire Town Hall. Some folks are members of both DPSC & Plein Eire Dublin, and it might make the event more enjoyable if we combine forces. I hope you agree. There is no convenient coffee shop to meet at, but if we have the numbers, and the weather entices more painters out in April, we should be able to find each other in the vicinity of the promontory. If not my mobile is 087 2709097. Meet at 11.30 for a 12 noon start?

Best

Hi Maire I am also available during the week, except Wednesdays.  I live near the city centre and I can DART out to Greystones.  My Sundays are occupied with the Dublin Sketchers and I would love to try and get in some  painting practice now that the weather is improving.

Deirdre, I am not sure if you meant that comment for me or not, but it came to my email. The only time I am not available is weekends as my husband travels for his work and comes home most weekends. I am not working any more so I am available during the week. I leave right at the beach in Greystones. We could walk to the beach with our gear and paint in a quiet area if you would like sometime when the weather gets a bit warmer. I am going away for a month to my other life in Germany but would love to meet up in May? I put my emails address on my reply to Valerie.:)) Maire

Valerie,

That sounds good to me. I have not been painting for a while but want to get back to it. my email is uemailme@eircom.net - I live in Greystones most of the time but my husband works abroad, travelling so we have a base in Germany. I will be leaving for the month of April to stay with him in Germany and to visit my daughter in Madrid. May would be best for me to meet up if you don't mind me taking such a long time or I could meet you next week for a coffee and chat? I am not working now so am available depending when you are available:)) Maire

I'm in Shankill.  I like painting on my own but also in groups.  We could meet up...
