Plein Eire Dublin Paint-Outs

A 'Paint-Out' can be arranged by anyone. Even an impromptu session can be posted here if the weather is promising and you have an afternoon or a morning to spare. We try to meet regularly. Just decide on a time and a suitable venue and post a notice on the group page and 'Events'.

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 Valerie Syms Martin on April 15, 2015 at 18:02: It was rainy here too Svetlana.

I can't join you tomorrow in Marlay as I have other plans for tomorrow. Happy painting - and maybe see you next week!

Comment by Svetlana Starikova on April 15, 2015 at 10:17: Hi all,

Yesterday were 2 people, we decided to meet in Marlay park close to Marlay House tomorrow (Thursday) at 12. Come if you can.

Comment by David Goldberg on April 14, 2015 at 16:40: Hope to paint on Howth Head to morrow. I was there last week and it was windy and cold but great painting subjects. Anyone wants to join in you will find me on the cliffs direction Bailey Light house.

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on April 14, 2015 at 9:55: The only 'organising' really is posting where and when under 'Events'. Basically, one is only making a commitment that the organiser will be there on time. That's all there is to it. If it is a place you know well, you won't even have to do a recce but if not, it may be a good idea to check it out for a cafe and parking etc.

As for posting under 'Events', that is easy - a 2 minute job - and if you haven't tried, have a go. Test it to see how it works. You won't crash the site and you can delete it straight away.

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on April 14, 2015 at 9:24: Don't feel guilty, Valerie. You did your bit but the truth is if one person takes responsibility others tend to back away. It is better with a group or a rota and everyone asked to get involved.

Here's a Howth Harbour event, too:

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on April 14, 2015 at 8:27: I feel guilty that I let the Dublin baton slip, but I had a total knee replacement last summer, which takes time to recover from.

At the same time, my Mum was very ill and I was with her as much as possible, 24 hours a day at the very end.

It takes time to recover from. We painted together and were great friends. Now my other knee has had a mishap and looks as if it will need to be replaced soon. So I can't resume the baton right now. It's great that Svetlana is posting up places. I was painting in Ballybrack village yesterday, but that was cos a perfect parking place was available and I had my stuff in the car.

Where are you going tomorrow Svetlana. I'm free then.

Comment by Carole Ann Margaret Cullen on April 14, 2015 at 6:59: Sorry Svetiana thought St Endas was near Raheny but of course it is Rathfarnham. Any one willing to organise something in the Dun Laoghaire area ?

Comment by Carole Ann Margaret Cullen on April 14, 2015 at 6:58: Svetiana you are an example to us all. Any Southsider ready to organise Saturdays ? Why not I you may ask - well I am Not am organiser but love to be organised ! Looking forward to the exhibition in Dun Laoghaire Concourse town hall this week.
