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...

Hello All, I may get some time to paint in Cong Tomorrow with you guys but should that change I will still call around and say hello, I would also like to do a small feature and photo op on the group just for our annual Cunga Magazine, I think it is important to show how strong the artists connection with Cong is and how vibrant and active the Pleineir group is., thanks Robert

Hi Noelle

Yes I'll see you in Cong tomorrow - looking forward to the Paintout - the weather should be perfect for plein air painting - so let's have a good turnout!

Hi John & Noelle. Unfortunately the dates this year clashed with other things for me during the Summer, and the one I went to attend near Maam got called off due to inclement weather. Now that I am back to work I can't attend the next two either, sadly....but hopefully next year. The ones I have been to are great, so I would encourage others to give it a go.
Belinda.

Hi john, Yes I too again have been disappointed with the lack of attendance at all events this and last year. And again apologies for not coming to roundstone, it was my mothers birthday. There are 2 enters left, this coming Saturday in Cong, and the 2 day paint out in westport town on the 3 and 4 th October. I hope people can come to these.any suggestions out there to encourage the remaining 47 members to attend a paint out?

Hi Noelle

Last Saturday in Roundstone was fabulous - best sunniest day of the Summer so far; Painted in the old harbour, some participants from my workshop stayed over and painted as well. Sadly, only one PleinEireWest member turned up - Patsy - and he did two lovely pastel paintings. It says something that beautiful paintable Roundstone can only muster two members in the height of Summer. Time for reflection perhaps. Comments from members welcome. Below is my Paintout painting.

How was last saturdays paint out in Roundstone?

Yes it was fabulous, despite the threats of car eating  horse foals and human eating donkey foals.

I think we should give this area a go again in the Autumn when there is more colour variety. tea and scones at Lough Inagh lodge at 11am make for really good painting too!

It was lovely to meet at Lough Inagh Lodge today....quite amazing scenery at every turn. I have nothing to show after the day but explored roads through the mountains.....one of those days when you dont know where to stop.Thanks for organizing Noelle.

Hi Noelle.  Yes I did get your message about the cancellation yesterday.  I was on the road alright but I saw it on my phone.  I was only a few minutes from town so it wasn't a problem for me at all.  I really appreciate the efforts you and many others are making to try to organise paint outs.  I'd love to meet up today and might make it in the afternoon.  Thanks again Noelle.

Hi, I did issue a message cancelling yesterday, obviously you were on the road already. We're meeting today at Lough Inagh lodge today at 11 if you can make it. It will be raining then, but is set to clear hopefully after coffee!
