Hi' yawl!
I'll probably be going down to AITO next "First-Sat": don't know how many other PE Dubliners will be also: please anyone remaining in Dublin do organise a Paint Out if you feel minded to- I don't think we should postpone August's First-Sat-Paint-Out for a week as we can't do that every Bank Holiday of the year - and the Second-Sat of this August I expect a lot of those PE Dubliners who will attend AITO the previous weekend might be "painted-out"! So, see you in September!

Photographer, Paul Freeney is leading a Photo-Walk from Hook Head to Loftus Hall on Friday 3rd August during Art in the Open. It is a kind of Art in the Open for photographers and anyone is welcome to join him.
Here is a fB link.
Incidentally, Paul has two people hoping to travel from Dublin to Hook on Friday morning and they are seeking to share a lift. If anyone is driving down that morning and would be glad of company and/or petrol money, get in touch with Paul Freeney.
Hi John, sorry I missed the last paint out, sounds as if it was a successful event both for weather and attendance. I was 'plein airing' in Achill, in the rain, at the time. Will be in Wexford for the next outing so will miss that as well. Tom
Really enjoyed today John, but I will be at AITO for the next one.
John
About 10 artists turned out to Dodder today (7/6/12) and despite flakey forecasts and floods elsewhere the sun shone on us all day! One never knows!
How do folk feel about August's First-Sat-Paint-Out - which will coincide with AITO in Wexf'rd: any member who's staying around Dublin for bank Hol weekend like to organise it?

Thanks to John McManus for setting us up with a splendid venue today (02/06) at Poolbeg Yacht Club, adjacent to East Link, where the sun shone (for a while!) and we had a great turn-out of 13, with parking, bar and good vantage points at our disposal.
Next First-Sat (July) we've pencilled in the Dodder around the Dropping Well - but more detail later.
Happy painting - JOF
Sounds great! I hope to be there. I haven't painted there before.
Fowarded by John O Flynn; from John McManus:
(meet at 11am, PE Dublin June's First Sat Paint Out, 2/06):
I propose meeting at the Poolbeg Yacht & Boat Club for some marine and dock-land scenery for the next paint-out of the Plein Eire Dublin group. The club has kindly agreed that we could avail of the facilities for refreshments, bathroom, etc. The bar is open from 10am - tea, coffee, drinks, toasted sandwiches, etc. We could paint on the veranda overlooking the Liffey with views along the Liffey in both directions and across the river towards Boland's Mills. Plenty of scope for those who enjoy line and buildings and blocks of colour for more abstract motifs.
The club-house is visible on the right hand-side when travelling from the south-side along York Rd, towards the East-Link toll-gates, but is not accessible from York Road. Access is on Pigeon House Road and approached from the round-about at the junction of York rd. and Sean Moore Rd. If you are travelling from the north-side across the East-Link you take first left exit off the roundabout. If travelling from south-side towards the East-Link you go straight through the roundabout, i.e. the 3rd exit. Phone me if you need directions.
Hope to see you there. John Mc Manus
Hi folks,
We had a good attendance at April's joint Paint-Out with Dublin Painting & Sketching Club (to coincide with their annual exhibition in Dun Laoire town hall) - at Sandycove on April 21st - and the sun shone into the bargain!
I am proposing we go to Russborough House near Blessington for May's First-Sat Paint-Out, weather is usually good this time of year (coming up to exam time!) and I for one like a bit of architecture to anchor my landscapes. Meet in cafe there at 11am. I'll be heading from D13 thru town and on out by Tallaght, so if anyone wants a lift, please just ask.
Remember, any member can suggest location for subsequent months' First-Sat Paint-Outs, all we require is a likely painting location, some parking, and a hostelry for some refreshment and conviviality!
Hope you can make it on Sat.
