2013 schedule of paintouts
A message from John Dinan to all members of Plein Eire West on Plein Eire!
Hi All Members here is the 2013 schedule of paintout locations:
Hope you can get to at least some of them this year - they're really a great way to get your painting going again, in a social setting. Please put the dates into your diary or smartphone NOW so you don't forget - give yourself a 'one-day-before' reminder so you've no excuse! Hope to see you soon.
Leader Month Date Location Meet at
Helen May Sat 25th Kinvara Pier Kinvara Pier
John Jun Sat 22nd Cong/Abbey/River Public Carpark before village
Noelle July Sat 20th Leenane Village/Estuary Car park opp Craft shop
John Aug Sat 24th Roundstone Community Hall car park
Noelle Sept Sat 14th Delphi, near Leenane Delphi Centre
We meet at 10.45 each day, and at 4.30 for a coffee!
Noelle Angley, Helen Veale and myself are sharing the 'leading' this year - this means simply that one of us will definitely be at each of these paintouts. If you'd like to offer to share any of these 'leads' you'll be welcome - just say!
Any other comments/suggestions also welcome.
Plein Eire West is an informal group of painters who meet to paint outdoors on several dates each year.
It's purpose is simply to offer opportunities to paint outdoors in a variety of locations, without tuition, for artists who love to paint in the West of Ireland.
There is no tuition - just a location and time to meet for a day's painting in the company of like-minded artists.

Being very much a self-taught artist - and also being a bit of a rebel rather than a conformist - goes against me a bit in the confidence stakes when painting with a group. Everyone else seems so…Read on...

Hi Noelle. I actually have a Saturday off this week and am going to try and be there .... but 1am!!! Bit dark about then isn't it? :-) I hope it's okay but the only way I can be there is to bring my 88 year old Mum and her dog. They will sit happily in the car most of the time as long as I am nearby .... I'm assuming we're going to paint in and around the village so it should be easy for me to keep an eye on them. See you around the lunchtime 1 o'clock :-) Lynda
