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.

Fingers crossed for next time (2/03) - I'll recon Dierdre's suggestion, Herbert Park, and post something later! - JOF

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on February 2, 2013 at 17:24: Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. That was cold! There was frost on the ground in the carpark. But I enjoyed it - need to tidy the painting up a bit as it got a bit rubbed in the car. Will maybe post it later.

Comment by cora walker on February 1, 2013 at 23:49: Same here Valerie!! Looks like it will be dry tho!!

Comment by Valerie Syms Martin on February 1, 2013 at 20:45: I hope to be there. Not sure how long I'll last in the cold, but will give it a shot!

Comment by john o'flynn on January 29, 2013 at 13:32: Hi all,

Apologies for getting this note out so late (and aplolgies also to Dierdre M - we'll do Herbert part in Mar- but I had mentioned this location in Jan and I've just prepared the above notice!): while suffering thru' this generation why not visit the home estate of an earlier generation of our native bankers who treated the bank they managed as a private piggy bank (!): Cabinteely Park, off the Stillorgan-Bray Rd at Cornelscourt. You can see it has alot to offer - cafe on site, good parking, Japanese Gdn, pond, etc. 11.00 for 11.30 start Sat 2/02?

Hope to see you there! - John O Flynn/087 2709097

Comment by deirdre moriarty on January 27, 2013 at 23:40: Hi all, how about having our painting venue this month in 'Herbert Park' Donnybrook? the Herbert Park hotel is in the park and ideal for coffee. The parking is metered however, so maybe some of you may like to car pool. There are nice views ie, The dodder river which flows along the Ballsbridge side of the park. The red brick houses which surround the area.

Comment by mariondurnin on January 13, 2013 at 18:31: Hi happy new year to all it was nice being at the botanic gardens on sat, to my disappointment i had to leave early,looking forward to the next event.Marion

Comment by cora walker on January 2, 2013 at 20:39: Happy New year to all, unfortunately can't make it Sat- have NCT, so fingers crossed!! Happy Painting, Cora

Comment by john o'flynn on January 1, 2013 at 1:23: Happy Xmas all!

As has become a bit of a New Year ritual, I suggest we return to the Botanic Gdns next Sat Jan 5th for the First-Sat-Month Paint-Out of 2013. Warm refuge in the cafe and sheltered painting spots in the glass houses make it a safe mid-winter location! 11am in cafe then?

Look forward to catching up with everyone (and any new-comers very welcome)!

Best

Comment by john o'flynn on November 27, 2012 at 10:00: Hi all,

As mentioned before, we'll go the Farmleigh in Phoenix Park for December's First-Sat (Dec 1, next Sat) Paint Out. Meet in cafe around 11. I gather Christmas activities are picking up there, but there is the expanse of he Phoenix Park if you want to get away from all that!.

Look forward to seeing you there. - Best - JOHN O FLYNN
